Crossram on eBay
Could you point me to the area in eBay where it says that statement is illegal? eBay has so many rules and regulations I can't find that area that covers that verbage. I have searched.
Would appreciate it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif Rick |
Re: Crossram on eBay
You definitely can't add extra fees. I didn't know that either and they cancelled one of my auctions.

Re: Crossram on eBay
on the flip side cant blame the guy for not wanting to be robbed 2.9% from PayPal on the total.. plus they hold the dough for a few days before it hits your bank....dirty rotten scoundrels.

A short discussion ensues up until about Post #22 or so... Mac |
Re: Paypal Surcharge
Interesting. I just had somebody that is a member of this board here, respond to me 6 days after the auction ended that I had failed to tack on 5% to cover his PayPal fees. Figured he needed that dollar worse then I did, so I gave it to him. Now I know I should have just turned him in.

Re: Paypal Surcharge
That was me. Why would you "turn me in"? It is stated in the terms of my auctions that there is a 5% surcharge. I don't check every paypal payment to see if the 5% was paid most of the time; but this time I checked. Only one person included the 5% with payment. I accept paypal as a service to the buyer, I would rather get money orders. I guess I will stop accepting paypal which is a bummer for buyers since it is so convinient. So again I ask, why would you turn me in? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Paypal Surcharge
The way I view it is that PayPal is a great service to both the buyer and the seller. Who really wants to deal with money orders etc?
All the items that I sell on e-bay only have PayPal as the payment method. Also, I only bid on items that accept PayPal. I have absolutely no interest in running around to get a money order. I guess this thread has been hijacked. |
Re: Paypal Surcharge
Interesting. I have no doubt that PayPal provides a great service and it is easy. I don't have a problem with that outside ebay.
BUT, here is my reason for NOT using PayPal on Ebay auctions. Simple. eBay owns PayPal and I don't think it is fair that I or anyone else get tapped for a percentage on the item that sold on eBay and then get whacked again for receiving the payment through PayPal. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif Just my opinion and thoughts. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif Rick H. |
Re: Paypal Surcharge
rick i agree,paypal fees are a joke they take a % from the seller that has to be absorbed by someone.When u get wacked $30 on a 800 dollar item it makes u think https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Here's a little tip: charge an extra 3% in your shipping/handling charge. EBay can't sniff it out and nobody would really notice unless it was a higher-priced item. Also remember that Western Union is up to 15-18%! Highway robbery. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif There are alotta things that are starting to reek outa eBay. People are dumping their accounts daily. The Buy It Now option is almost useless with the scammers clicking on every auction and mass-mailing bogus money orders outa Nigeria and Russia. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Mac |
