Lol, true very true but for some sick reason I've been finding them more interesting than the same Ole same Ole threads Earl said this, Jayson did this, this cue - shafts - chalk etc.
Why do sellers not include the PayPal fee in with their asking price?

Yes. It is much different. When you Gift through Pay-Pal your are no longer protected. Buyer Beware.
I may have been a victim of that without noticing. Nasty. Their real cost of exchange must be down in the 0.01% range; I'm sure they have cash accounts in all the major currencies.
Barstewards? I'll have to remember that one.
As for a bad PayPal experience (that I've noticed :smile
I've only had one when I paid for some books and then let the seller delay shipment past the claim period. I think PP has more protection in place now.
Definitely couldn't be anything to do with not reporting income from sales to the IRS.

This is a ridiculous thread. Of course sellers should not arbitrarily add 3% for PayPal fees. There are multiple forms of payments that can be made for which PayPal is only one of them. Money Gram, Bank Wire, Western Union, Good ole CASH, PayPal (as a gift) etc..........
It may be ridiculous but it is very common practice around here.
Lighten up, smile.
This is very funny, you pay $500 for a cue and you're upset with the $15 fee?
Wasn't that you at the Ferrari dealer?
Telling the salesman that the $5,000.00 per month payment is no problem.
IT"S THE $100 DOWN PAYMENT THAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD.

Feeling like you are totally missing the point... The buyer is using the service just as much as the seller. At a minimum the fee should be worked into the total price of the sale. Read my first post in this thread.
I was not commenting on your post, sorry to bother you, "lighten up and smile," those are the first words I used in the header but it did not show on your repost.
I have used paypal for years, great service and I respect the service to the point where I have NEVER asked anyone to gift me.
I have never asked anyone to split the fee either, to me it's already built into the price, same with fleabay fees, they are built in.
Smile, I just agreed with you, good day, David.
Its difficult enough these days to get someone to pay a price that is well below what you wanted in the first place or close to what it's worth. I for one want a quick sale so I give things away at the prices I sell them for and I pay for shipping as well. If a buyer wants something and I've already lost my a** on it plus paid shipping then expecting the buyer to cover 4% for paying through PayPal doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Plus when someone has a good Itrader rating and reputation then you shouldn't feel uneasy about sending the payment as friends and family. Sometimes you have to have a little faith in your fellow man. It's much cheaper that way too, no fees for either of you. So , as a buyer you have two choices, pay the fee or have some faith. No one is making you pay it as goods and services but if you choose that over having faith in someone then you pay the price. That's how I see it.
