Attention sellers:

[agent]

Few things are more frustrating than negotiating a price for an item with someone, only to have them agree to it, then say "plus PayPal fees" in their final response.

So include PayPal fees in your asking price. Also, don't ask for more in fees than what PayPal actually charges:

Sales within the US:
2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction.

International Sales:
3.9% transaction fee plus a fixed fee based on currency received.

At least some sellers state up front that fees are the buyer's responsibility, though adding a few dollars to the advertised price isn't that damned hard, is it?

Sigh

I just ask that people send it as friend/family, since we are... aren't we?

0% fees are the best.

NEVER agree to pay as a "gift" or "personal" from anyone you don't trust 110%.

Honestly, it's 3%. Deal with it.

A seller asking buyer to pay fee's is like a retail company asking you to pay their credit card fees.

... a retail company asking you to pay their credit card fees.

All products you pay in retail do include an extra fee to cover credit cards. If you pay cash, you just got fucked of 3%.

I never got why people don't just work the paypal fees into their original price. It's not that hard.

Because r3v is cheap. As a buyer I've never had a problem with paying the pp fees if I wanted a secure transaction. Think about it, your buying something and using a service to transfer the funds by a click of a button. Send the money through mail next time you want to complain.

I just add it to the price of whatever I'm selling. It's 3% for christs sake.

I can't believe that a website exists solely to calculate Paypal fees! This is a bigger issue then I thought

[Fourbanger]

Also, please stop removing the price after the item sells.

I had to make that large because it bothers me. It's good info for others to know.

[evandael]

my opinion: as a buyer, pay the fees. i know i do.. why? i see it as anonymous online purchase insurance.

That blows, I've been lucky but at the same time I don't really sell anything that's worth over $100 unless they pick it up in person. $10/$20/$40 items don't matter as much.

Thanks for the heads up though didn't know PayPal wouldn't cover it.
