i see that some people who charge a 3% fee for buyers to pay using paypal, request that the buyer fund from a paypal balance or bank account so the transaction nets the seller 3% more, since the seller pays no fee's this way.very lame practice for some audiogoners to stoop to.
just ranting

When I sell I never pass the fee onto the buyer but I pay PalPay for every transaction no matter how it is funded. It's just some sellers do not want you to use a Credit Card as that elimates the risk of chargebacks. Do not worry most sellers agree with me and DO NOT PASS the cost onto the buyer.Also on eBay it is not allowed to pass on the Pay Pal fee to your buyer.
Elizabeth is correct.I originally had the "free" account for about a year, then I switched to the "main" account. No charges with "free", always charged with "main".
Regards,
The main PayPAl account is able to have credit card charges and the user can withdraw large sums from the PayPal balance.
The small "free" account cannot have credit card charges for payment period! And the small free account user can only withdraw a small amount of cash from the account per month. PayPal will change the account to the main type if the user wants to do either of the forbidden things. The "free" account cost ZERO. The normal account is the one with a fee ON EVERY TRANSACTION.
So small non-business users get a free ride. The major players pay pay pay.
here is the deal.seller says in ad. buyer to pay paypal fee's of 3%
but the buyer must use the bank account /not credit card to purchase.
because thier paypal account does not accept.
why should anyone be double taxed on a purchase anyways.which is all a fee is.
PayPal charges a 3% fee, no matter how payment is made. If buyer uses a credit card, then PayPal pays a fee to the credit card issuer. If buyer transfers from his PayPal account, or pays be e-check, then PayPal keeps all the fee.Put another way, PayPal is NOT charging the seller a fee for accepting credit card payments. They are charging the fee NO MATTER HOW PAYMENT IS MADE.
my account cost the buyer nothing
