Question about Western Union fees

peteep · Aug 31, 2004

I never use WU, but had a book pay me via WU last week since their neteller account was dry that day. I didn't have to pay any fees since it was their fault, but I am curious to know how much a payout by WU costs. I'm guessing it depends on the amount sent. What would a fee for a dime or two be?

WU fees are very expensive, thus I would recommend another avenue for your withdrawls.

Very seldom will a book pick-up fees for withdrawls if they are over $30.

$2000 is right around $115
$1000 is around $80 (could be a little lower has been a while)

I've seen different fees charged by a book on Western Union fees on payouts!

I have had a few payouts for a 1000 and the fee was 60.I rarely take out using WU as it is expensive and especially if it was more than what I paid. I imagine some books are tacking a service fee on top of the normal fee?.
