rant: paypal SUCKS@!

[Schniddy]

my comment was directed at the fact if you'd ever had a real job, the minimal fees from paypal would seem insignificant.

30 bucks in no were near insignificant to me :shock:

But that's the thing with Paypal, they really hammer it in to use your bank account/direct debit for maximum profit. The default setting is your bank account, and they always give you several warnings when you switch to a credit card, they ask you "Do you really want to pay by credit card? If you pay with your bank account you can enter to win $25,000!" Direct debit from a bank account costs a merchant next to nothing, maybe $0.30 or so. But using a credit card costs them a percentage, as Ryan stated.

I just sold a scanner on ebay for 437.00 including shipping they took 13.00 which as Ryan said is reasonable for the ease of having the money. The guy paid Saturday and the money was in my account Monday.

You still got a better deal than me.
Say I double your $437 to get a number close to what mine is, 874. That is almost exaly 100 more than I was payed. Then I double your 13 dollor fee witch would come out to only 26 dollors. I payed a $30 fee for $770, you payed $13 for $437 :shock:

by the looks of it I payed more for every dollor than you did?

Dont get a job. You'll try to sue the government or something for the taxes they impose on your paycheck.
