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

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.

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.

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".

Dear Sir,
I was very happy to receive your cretinous reply to my ad. Your proposal is surely the apex of mongoloid reasoning and I would be very delighted to accept your offer. I知 sorry to hear that your telephone developed some technical problems. I知 sure that there痴 a perfectly asinine reason for this. Best not to worry and have a good wank while waiting for the repairman. Regarding my speakers, most people would not bother to ship a pair of 100 lb home made Voight Pipes from Canada to Australia. But you are obviously a discerning whacker of unmitigated proportions and therefore deserve a very heartfelt evisceration or disembowelment. I promise to pack them with utmost care and to fill the boxes with chunder (a type of packing material). Now for some great news. It so happens that I have a very good friend down under. His name is Russell Crowe and he works as a Gladiator in Woolloongabba. He値l be happy to personally deliver the speakers to you but be careful, as he's probably hit the turps and got the wobbly boot on. I値l be down there very soon myself. Maybe we can meet, get in the nuddy, whip out the old fella and perve the white pointers. Looking forward to sharing some bondi cigars, and a couple of bush oysters with you. Cheers mate.

Maybe we are not stoopid but it does seem some are or else these practices would not continue. The deadly sin of greed acts as an effective carrot to some. They probably deserve to be scammed but the rest of us could do without this rubbish.
