No more Paypal personal for me. Big Brother came and took it :(

[RockMyAmadeus]

I'm late on this of course but Must say I am somewhat puzzled that amybody would complain about a 3% electronic payment fee. The buyer pays nothing, the seller absorbs the cost.

 

Try setting up a brick and mortar shop and see how much the fixed cost of doing so will run. Set up a credit card machine and you will soon discover that you get billed a couple percent for that as well.

 

If you are so dang cheap that you can't pay 3% to accept money from total strangers on a secure , guaranteed basis, accept checks only. Then you can wait a week or two for the check to arrive and pray to God it clears.

 

Honestly, Im awestruck at how cheap people can be.

It's not that it's just 3%, at times its actually another 3% more

 

What fee structure charges 6% on Paypal? I pay 2.5% (due to the dollar amount passing through) and 3.5% for international payments. 3.9% is the highest fee I see.

 

:shrug:

 

on top of ebays 9% and then there is shipping as you are selling a book at cost or even less.

 

That's the choice of the seller. It's not eBay's responsibility to make sure anyone "breaks even."

 

In my state MA the sales tax is 6.25% when I go to McDonalds for a coffee it's only a $1, but they charge $1.07, to me that is far less to be considered that a 3% paypal fee, however that .75% adds up to amounts of money that goes where? Is this a form of stealing? Anyone? RMA?

 

It depends on how the law is written. You SHOULD be rounding down, but the Mass leg may have specifically written that into the law. In any event, 3/4 of a cent isn't going to add up fast, and that assumes you land on the "round down" side of the equation more often than not.

42 pages and counting. Lines were drawn, lines were on, lines were obviously snorted.

 

One thing that this board can agree on is that on issues like this ... we really can't agree on anything. That is fantastic. Why? Because really in this "world", no one is ever truly wrong or truly right.

 

Roy....? That you...?

 

 

There are things that are truly wrong and truly right. Not a lot, but there are some.

 

I can think of 10 right off the top of my head.

 

The conspirator in me wants to feel that Paypal knows people are going to use personal for means other than "personal". That they want you to use it against their stated TOS... just so they can cut it off, then they have ensured that they will always receive there service charge.

 

I'm sure there is some reason they offer paypal personal that benefits their company... and its not goodwill either. There has to be something monetarily related to make them offer a "no charge" option to its customers. Again as stated in the thread earlier "nothing is free". Did anyone post in this monstrosity the reason why Paypal offers personal, other than a service. The real reason they do it? Regulations to save on taxes, filing regulations, etc? I would like to know if anyone has that info... because again, it can't just be for goodwill towards the customer.

 

Yes. It was posted several times, by several people.

 

I never once used paypal personal until I started here on the boards a little over a year ago. Not once. I never asked for it either. Always stated in payment terms "whatever form of paypal that your comfortable with and saves me & you money, is good paypal to me".

 

Am I morally corrupt? Is RMA really Jesus?

 

Not even close. You and me are in the same boat. But...again...it's not about me. Nor is it about you. It's about the issue.

 

Should I charge my dog a service charge if he becomes unrully? Can Mikenyc88 really get me some of that high quality Japanese catapillar porn?

 

These questions may never be answered (tho I hope one will via PM ).

 

Just realize, that Coke knows exactly how much sodium to put in their drinks to keep you thirsty... and reach for another Coke.

 

And that required daily intake of Coke the Feds instituted makes it a killer.....

 

 

Did you get that order taken care of yet?

Please tell me this will not continue yet another day.

 

 

 

Thanks, but it's covered.

Christ, you replied directly to my post. I'll ignore you if you just leave me to it but I'm damned if I'm gonna sit there and let you reply to me (and you know that you were inferring that I'm a victim based my posts, whether you admit it or not) and just take it.

 

Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.

Don't address him as Christ.

 

PLEASE don't.

I think paypal is evil (though they provide a necessary service) and I applaud any attempts to avoid their fees.

 

With that said, don't get too agittated when they find you out. You got somethin' for nothin' for a while and it's over now. All good things must come to an end.

 

If you feel you NEED personal payments, get your spouse to set up an account, or your mother or something. If you don't have a spouse, get one of those. They're really good for telling what to do all the time and making sure you can never take a nap, no matter how tired you are.

Though you certainly are one of the victims in this thread, you aren't the only, and not even the first.

Um, what the hell are you actually talking about? What do you actually even know about me?

Let's go with this. Further discussion is pointless and will end badly.

No, now you've said this about me on a public forum, I want to know what you know about me that makes you say I'm a victim. It's a direct question, I'm asking for a direct answer.

Stop looking for a fight. The answer to your question has already been posted, by me, in this thread.

 

I'm tired of fighting with you and your ilk.

I'm afraid that I missed what you said about me earlier in the thread. Could you repeat it please as I have no idea what you are refering to.
