Hi, I just received my first Paypal payment in the form of a gift, and I looked at the transaction details, and it says they charged a $.33 fee for a $1 transaction, meaning I only received $.67. Is this normal, or is Paypal stealin my money?

Sadly, this is normal. Paypal takes a base fee from all transactions for $.29 and in addition 2-3% of the sale. Balance funded p/o and gift payments do not have fees

Always have the seller send the payment as a gift, to prevent this.
This does not always prevent the fee. The sender does not HAVE to pay the fee, and if the payment is not funded via balance there always includes a fee as do Premier Verified accounts.
I don't know if this is spam or not but its on topic with his reply^
I had the most annoying ridiculous stupid obnoxious laugh after reading all that.
OT:Fee's are normal though.
GayPal (formerly known as PayPal) is one of the world's biggest internet scams which unlike most other scams, is welcomed into the tubes with open arms. Owned by eBay, it has been crafted very carefully into the world's largest unregulated bank, meaning eBay can and will steal all your money whenever they so feel. eBay promotes them by not just the lie that PayPal is safe, but the also lie that no other payment form is safe and has caused everyone to stop paying their rent, taxes, bridge tolls, restaurants, grocery stores, and hookers because they won't take PayPal.
