Why should i have to pay for your convience?

[Popeye the Sailor]

Oh you mean Paypal isnt a nightmare for sellers? You do realize theres a multitude of class action cases against paypal right? Money order is CASH. accept a money order is like accepting cash.

Oh and who pays the fee for hte money order? the BUYER does. WHen you write a check, who pays for the Check? the BUYER does.

DOes anyone not see the ridiculous nature of the eBay & paypal team? I DONT WANT TO USE PAPYPAL, but buyers LOVE IT. therefore im forced to use it. But if the buyer wants it so bad, why dont they fork over the money for it instead?

Because I have no interest in getting your address, going to the bank, getting a money order made out to you, mailing it, waiting for you to wait while the check clears, then hoping you might actually send me my stuff (of course if you don't what am I going to do?). 

It's a pain in my ass. You list two identical items, and I'd buy it from the guy who accepted paypal over the one who didn't. It's great for the buyer, and even better if I can make sure I don't have to pay for a money order or a check.


Seriously dude, use craigslist.

You're totally right. So ill do all that for you, for a small 5% fee of the total cost of whatever it is you bought. its fair right? im providing a service that does all of that for you,so you don't have to do all that.

Absolutely-you want my money-earn it. If not, I'll go somewhere else. I buy on ebay.

I won't sell on ebay.

Which is why people charge $8 to ship an item that arrives with $4 in postage. Ebay calls it fee avoidance. It should be called fee recovery.

it's shipping and handling.

I won't buy from someone that doesn't accept Paypal. The seller is paying to provide the service to make the ease of buying their product more attractive. If you don't like it, don't use it.

And while I understand starting a thread to voise your concern, I don't understand why it's gone 4 pages and your last post's have you screaming and carrying on like the insignificant fee is life altering.

I have a chill pill I can sell you, but I only accept paypal.

I have a chill pill I can sell you put I only accept paypal.

Hell, I'll buy him a dozen.


I can't get to the bank until next Saturday though-then I can send a cashier's check-should be there a week from Tuesday. That okay?

[DarkStaR]

This whole thing is ridiculous.

Don't use ebay/paypal then.

You know the fees are there, and no one's forcing you.

You want to use it because they offer something you want, but want it for free.  Nothing is free.

My bad about the whole thing seeming like i was screaming, i didnt notice how long it was or how it was being read until i re-read it.

Most of me getting fired up cause people keeping saying i want ebay to be free. Its not what im saying. If you understand why i started the thread, then im happy with that. I figured there were more people out there who sell on ebay enough to get annoyed with them bouncing off the walls with fees these past few months. I was wrong.

Just to clarify -

I'm not saying that you want eBay to be free ... I'm saying, find somewhere else to sell your stuff

PS: Their fees DO suck, I agree 100% ... But I vote with my wallet
