    I would never ask for 3%.

    If you accept Pay Pal then thats your expense.
    Dont want to pay the 3%, dont accept pay-pal.

    or Clearly list on sale price FROM THE START

    $500 + shipping
    *will accept pay-pal for additional $10 handling fee.

    easy everyone knows what the deal is from the start.

    I don't charge extra mostly because I'm so used to eBay (buying and selling) and they frown big time on passing the charges on. When I price something I take the 3% into account. Besides, I'll pay 3% to get my money instantly through PayPal anyway. I started offering ONLY PayPal on eBay listings a couple years ago because check/money order/etc. is such a pain.

    that and you never know when some scammer is going to send you a bogus money order or cashiers check. It isn't that big of a deal on little stuff but I don't mind paying a little to get the bulk of my money instantly and securely.

    I don't charge that way. I try to make it light on the buyer. Makes them happy. I hate it when you see something that says free shipping and then "for faster shipping see the lie to them chart below. " They then take 2 weeks longer for the free shipping. when I sold frequently on ebay my free shipping was free and shipped the day the item was paid for.

    Yep. I often offer free USPS Priority Mail and Express for actual cost. I always ship the day paid if before 4:00.
