Paypal

Best for seller: Friends & Family so no fees taken out (2.9% or so) or disputes. Smart buyers won’t agree to this unless they trust you 100%, or they’re meeting you in person and can inspect the goods prior to paying.

Best for buyer: normal PayPal with buyer protection similar to using a CC.

Yep. on a 1500 cue its only like 45bux. just add it to the price and tell buyer you'll eat the fee. i'd rather get what i ordered than quibble over a few bux.

With all this personal online income tax going on. Keep records of the fees. When i was selling online fulltime fees were part of the business. In the end of the year it didn't matter the fees were a write off.

I’m confused. I know the buyer has no protection under F&F but as far as the cheap asshole category goes …

If you use F&F (no fees for seller) or add the fees into your selling price( buyer pays fee, no fees for seller) wouldn’t that qualify for the cheap asshole category too?

It's a pretty simple solution actually...
Give the buyer the option. If they choose G&S, the fee gets tacked onto the final purchase price. If they choose F&F, they take the risk.

Not putting anyone down, cause I’m in the cheap asshole category too, but whether you make buyer pay fees by jacking price or try to use F&F to not pay fees it’s the same thing except for buyer protection … seller is not paying fees. This is fine, no problem .. just thought it strange that someone jacking the price to not pay fees would call someone else a cheap asshole for trying to use F&F to get out of paying fees

If your selling something and you want $800 tell the guy you want $850 and your fees are probably covered.

It's economics 101. Whats not to understand? When a company offers free shipping, they are not doing it because they have a big heart. It's already figured into the final price. There is nothing free in this world.

Sounds like he's just butthurt for being a cheap asshole even though no one called him one directly. Guilt maybe? ;)
 
Using F&F for purchasing anything that cost more than 50bux doesn't make anyone a cheap asshole just a stupid one. I've done it in the past with people i already knew but with a stranger no way.
