    To the 3% people

    Ok this grinds my gears When you post something for sale like exhaust or bumper for x amount + shipping, you can not demand the buyer to pay the 3% paypal charges you to use their service. This violates Pay Pals TOS. here is the

    4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.

    handling charges do not include the fees pay pal charge you.
    so knock the nickle and diming off

    paypal fees add up and no reason to lose that amount of money going thru paypal. some ppl want their product fast so its not fair to the seller to lose money. I see nothign wrong with paying or charing that extra 3%

    There is a loop hole though...
    Say your selling an intake for $200.
    you want the buyer to pay the shipping and all other fees so what you do is,
    say $200 plus shipping. If you want them to pay paypal fees, then just make your price $206 if paypal is 3%.
    When I sell something and I say I want $500, that means I want $500 in my pocket, not before taxes, fees, royalty's, or charges.
