This FAQ is designed to provide clear and concise answers to common questions about Tip4Serv's fee structure and how it integrates with PayPal.
What are Tip4Serv fees, and how are they charged?
Tip4Serv charges a 5% fee on all sales made through the platform. This fee is deducted from your sales to cover the costs of providing and maintaining the service. For example, if you earn £1,000, Tip4Serv will collect up to £50 in fees.
Why did I receive no funds for a recent transaction?
When a payment is intercepted for fees, you may not see it in your PayPal account. This is part of the process to ensure outstanding fees are cleared. However, you are still responsible for delivering the purchased product to the buyer.
Indeed, if the payment has been collected by Tip4Serv you will not be notified by Paypal, we therefore advise you to follow these tips:
Enable Discord notifications via the notification settings to stay informed about all purchases.
Tip4Serv sends you an email with each purchase so keep an eye on them.
I see a payment on Tip4Serv but why I don't see it on my Paypal account?
Tip4Serv occasionally intercepts payments to collect outstanding fees because PayPal does not allow us to take a commission directly from your transactions. This ensures that the platform can operate without requiring a subscription fee. Once the fee is settled, subsequent payments will be sent to your PayPal account as usual.
These payments are indicated in the list of payments on the Tip4Serv dashboard with the yellow badge Tip4Serv fee as in the image below:
