Money orders or personal check. But then it costs money for a money order and it takes time for personal checks to clear. There are choices though.

That was my point...they are in business to make money, not save you money. They provide us with a relatively safe and secure means to pay and get paid for merchandise...that is all I really expect myself. (Splave, you know you are the "gift" monster lol.)

Ebay does have some odd schemes I will admit, but if you really want to sell something and reach a lot of perspective buyers they just can't be beat. I recently sold my Shovelhead on Ebay for $7500. I listed it for seven days and it sold in five...not likely to happen on any forum if you know what I mean.

Not bad on bike under $200 in fees for 7500 price?

(course PP got you for 70 cents plus 3 percent too. )


Ebay is evil cuz, they do crazy stuff. Like for certain items charge more than 10%!!! plus, ebay started charging fees on shipping.

WTF?

As for paypal.. Lots of horror stories there. I been a seller for like 6 or 7 years though had two problems, one was my fault... buyer did not wait, (i packaged poorly and it got smashed)

Scond time the buyer said a board did not work. wnet on to tell me it was the third boardin a row they got that didnt. *ding... not the board. I told him I would help him RMA but since I did not offer a return policy for nonDOA items I would charge a fee. I could also help him RMA his broken stuff. Got mad and gave me my first negative feeback *sigh.

Guys who ebay/pp sided with? Not the guy that filed 3 charge backs infront of me...lol

PP is nice, but everytime they raise prices, you have to raise prices to list through them

the fees for shipping is ridiculous though. they are trying to protect the buyer for "i dont like it" returns and want a full refund including shipping. Paypal has not for a long time, allowed you to get fees back unless you do full refund. bastards. (same company so of course, bastards..)

EDIT: I just hate eBay more than PP

[Splave]

since august 1st payments received 41 out of 50 I paid fees on $437. I dont think Im abusing shit.

[V2-V3]

Paypal did this to me as well...

* Recommends class action lawsuit

I recently was awarded $0.87 for a class action against eBay
maybe you can recoup some fees!


For these reasons I use Dwolla/Amazon when available.

Bogus?

return item, yes. Destroy it no

I just got a free paypal fee payment that include purchase stuff in the comments section. Stupid person.

I ALWAYS just say thanks hope this helps or something similar

And PM the person I am sending the money too. Anyone who does otherwise is an ass

I will refund the money from now on based on reading this.
