The deductions are minimal. If the funds u are withdrawing are not much, if u do.the math u will find out it's better to sell to exchangers than to withdraw directly from PayPal.

Before Drawnobet came up with this africard stuff, dat is how we used to withdraw our money from PayPal.

Yeah, but a lot less. $0.33 + 0.03% of the amount sent.
If sent 10USD they deduct 33 cents + 0.03% of the amount ($0.30 in this case) so they'll get about $9.36.

For wothdrawals less than $30USD, that's the best way (assuming the selling price per $USD is 300 Naira to a dollar.

Apart from reading the FAQ. You can't really get better if you avoid those short calls.
That's what makes you improve. Because with no distance time you do several calls with different written note to learn from.
Very short exchange between customers. Is actually telling you that you should have released that calls because no conversation take place. No introduction, no exchange of details etc.
Several punctuation error. Has to do with the calls you are picking. Some speakers are generally bad with their grammar. But you are expected to make minimum changes to make the sentence correct. So always read your transcripts to make sure it's grammatically correct. You learn faster with a short call. You can't really get better if you don't perfect those short calls.
Always listen to the rating note.

I used to run after those very short calls,e.g one to two minutes max. cos I thought they were easier . But, in reality they’re harder.
Thanks BTW.

Just use the Africard, it's a better deal at $100 or demand a better exchange than N300 to a dollar, you qualify at that amount.
But charges on sending the funds to a seller would be just $3.33.

Don't think twice about it. Withdraw to ur africard. If it's less than $20 then it's a bit cheaper to sell at a rate not less than 300naira per dollar.

Assuming u want to sell $20 to an exchanger at a rate of 300naira per dollar, u'll get $20*300= 6000naira (I did not consider the little charge paypal take for transfers here).

If u want to withdraw $20 to ur africard, u'll get $15*360= 5400naira(minus the $5 paypal charge).

If it's $30 u want to sell at rate of #300, it'll be $30*300=9000naira (not considering the small charge paypal collect for transfers).

If u are to withdraw $30 to ur africard it'll be 25*360=9000naira(minus the $5 paypal charge)

From the calculations above u'll see that if u are withdrawing up to $30 or more it's better to use the africard, but if it's around $10 to $20 it's cheaper to sell to exchangers.

If you used the Africard you'd get N34,200 after the deduction of the $5. With the exchangers it's first of all $100-$3.33 then times whatever exchange rate you both agree on.
