Vendors and PayPal fee's

pfdaxe · 09-03-2012, 01:09 PM

I have to agree. I don't charge the fees when I'm selling anything on any forum. If needed, I'll eat the fee, include it in the price, or have the buyer send funds as a "gift". There are no fees associated with that. I do get tired of sellers adding additional (what I call airline fees).

That's my 2 cents (typing fee included)

Please don't be so quick to judge, it's a smack in the face when it's put to the consumer in the way that it has.

I rather have the vendor include the fee then to ask for "gift." If it is a used part, I strongly suggest it is either something you know you will rebuild it or simple not to have issues.

If a vendor is asking to use "gift" on a "new" product, you are losing your consumer protection, similar to credit card chargebacks.

"If a vendor is asking to use "gift" on a "new" product, you are losing your consumer protection, similar to credit card chargebacks."
That was presented to me as an option to avoid the fee. I never looked back. That’s even shadier than charging the fee itself.

All that’s says to me is, "look I don't want to pay PayPal and I know you don't, so let’s scam the system and you take a chance that I will send you your item" Fat chance!
