sellers here who still charge an extra % for Paypal payments

 

why not just increase your asking price to cover the extra percentage?

 

 

I just click out of the thread if I see that. Zero cost to list or sell and people still want the buyer to pay the paypal fee?

 

they have to make sure to squeeze every penny out of the deal, don't they?

 

That's exactly how I feel. It's like buying a house from a seller who doesn't hire a real estate agent but still wants full market. It's a free world but I just click out.

 

Me, too.

I was just about to on a nice ST 110, when I noticed the dreaded "Buyer pays PP fees." O well...

[dscott]

I have a not so nice ST 110 for you Dan

[Speedy-D]

Ah, it was gonna be an impulse buy...

I would love to see the seller's reaction when they go to a store, charge something, and the charge card fees are added to their invoice.

While sellers asking for 3% to cover Paypal fees is a no-no for me when it comes to buying, it's always better than posting the little guy then getting hit up with the 3% during the PM exchanges after the fact.

I've never had anyone try that on me.

It is becoming more and more common around here

I think it might be illegal in NY, if not, it's just plain tacky.

[Speedy-D]

Oo, if it's illegal, I'm in!!

It's been a while back but I have had it happen a couple of times.

I agree. It is like being asked first where you want to be stabbed rather than just being stabbed without preamble. err...I think I just don't want to be stabbed period.

I would have bought that 9.0 #129 in a minute, but being asked to pick up the PP fees is a HUGE turn-off. Too bad, that would have been an instant sale.

 

Didn't want to in his thread, but I hope he see this.

I'm looking forward to a seller nominating me to the probation list for backing out of a sale after trying that on me

In hindsight I should have done when it happened to me, but at the time I felt a weird sense of obligation to see the deal through and take the hit. Never again.

[Boozad]
