Just wondering if it's just me or not, but all over the internet in every for sale thread there is I always see "Paypal add 3%" I will never buy from someone who has this in their post for some reason....the 3% Paypal charges (as do credit card companies) is a charge to the sellers for the sellers convenience and yet mostly the buyers are the ones paying the fee. (it's still a buyers market)

Why would you just not add the 3% to the price of the item??...i have found about 6 items on this forum alone that i probably would have purchased but they had the dreaded "add 3%" thing....

I know I'm too new to rant, but i just did anyway...so there

am i wrong here? if absolutely noone in the world agrees with me i will admit i am wrong and change my ways (maybe)

 

Yeah I can understand that being a pain in the ***. It does not bother me anymore...my pet peeve right now is people ignoring pm's...

 

I agree, there is a dude on here that I pm'd about a sub he has that he could have already had the cash in his hand. As far as the 3% goes, I agree, it should be past of the advertised price. I do not charge a extra 2% for accepting visa, why should I then pay it for the seller to accept paypal. It is a cost to the seller so as to increase their ability to make the sale.

Paypal user agreement...

Many times I quote this into people threads...

 

Yeah it sucks, I personally avoid Paypal as much as possible!! I hate the fact that most people want you to add 3% and then if you sell something you get dinged taking it out(the money that is) I must be cheap cause I do not justify it by anymeans!!

 

Some of the prices are so low in margin on the net that every few points count though. But I do agree, build it into the price.

 

What I hate is when people post things like this in the General Audio section when they have nothing to do with audio at all...

I hate it when people post in the wrong section!!....if it were me I'd apologize for misreading the heading General Audio as General Discussion, what an idiot the OP is!!

...sorry folks

 

I don't think the 3% applies so long as you have a personal account - not a business one or premiere one. I just discovered that a few days ago.
