New Paypal Fees
Here is what they are doing now right from the site:

Standard fee: 2.9% of cost plus $0.30 USD on top.

A cross border fee of 1.0% for international transactions.

Payments requiring a currency conversion include a 2.5% fee.

So yes, EU people will have 5.4% fee plus $0.30 USD.

Calculator: http://www.rolbe.com/paypal.htm

Can we not just, uh, GIFT the money, like normal?

Remember folks to send Paypal money AS GIFT.

I get really pissed off when people don't do this. The amount of times I've had to transfer from my card a small amount to make up for the extra. If in doubt just send an extra dollar for the person's trouble.

or don't use PayPal

The fee now applies to gifts, hence the word "New" at the beginning.
Fuck you, Paypal.

Sorry to ask again, but "Does my steam profile need to be public to get in on these giftable packs?"

I would definitely like to be added to the Puzzle Quest 2 list please. Just give me instructions on what I need to do, please.

I won't be able to paypal until late tonight though, doing Thanksgiving stuff now. Nevermind, I guess I missed out on that one.

Anyone starting a new list?

I could host a Puzzle Quest 2 pack, but I can only take 8 others as I'm giving one to a friend. I can start a new list if anyone is interested.

Put me in for a L4D2 pack. I'm gonna be gone doing Thanksgiving stuff for a while but if someone organizes a group/buys a pack, I'll pay in a few hours when I get home.

Welp, I am going. If you are willing to wait a few hours for the money, my steam ID is Drkirby. If not, I'll have to try and find anther pack to jump on later tonight.

Sure thing 8bit. PMing you now :0

Sorry kirby. I would have stepped up, but assumed that everyone wanted to pay $3.49~ instead of $4.28~ (since I'd be buying at the UK price)

That sucks. I hope at some point in the future Steam allows to you gift steam money to people. It would cut down on the needless fees when we do this kind of thing.

Jumping on the Indy pack. Even if Recettear ends up being less then $5 for the group deal it's not worth the risk and the hassle of international paypal fees.

Hi guys, I'm looking to get in on a pack deal group for Defense Grid: The Awakening. I'm from the US if that's a factor.

I think it's reasonable to say that the person hosting can call the shots, whether they want to wait for those listed-yet-AFK or accept those who come to/pay them first. The important thing when deciding to not go with those who are "first in line" is to have it sorted out via PMs and then clearly communicate the list changes in the thread when agreements are set. That way people aren't left wondering if they are in or out of the current pack being distributed.

I'm keeping my list up there updated. Two One more and there is a second PQ2 pack filled. I understand with smaller prices, the people involved are more likely to be genuinely poor for the moment and thus unable to host. I would go ahead and host, but I am reserving cash for a possible DA:O Ultimate deal.

I am poor, and I did stealth edit it after I realized some people might be offended to be called poor like me. :D
