I've used Paypal since the beginning and when I sold stuff I never asked people to include the 3% fee. I know others do but that to me is a bit of an ethics issue. Just like business requiring min. purchase for card transactions with IMO is completely unethical and against their TOS.
Lately and just recently again in fact I've had people ask why they got charged a fee for the transfer of funds.
Technically you can send it as a gift and not get charged but if the other party screws you well SOL, sorry. If you send it as goods you get protection to some degree.
The recent guy obviously didn't know and started asking me why I didn't send all the money. I explained it and he said well I guess I know what not to use now. Seriously?
Does every person expect free services these days? Looking to buy an outdated laptop for other reasons and the guy specifically says I need to send it through Paypal as a gift of he won't ship it. I tried Amazon Payments in the past but it took like 2 weeks to send the money which was his other requirement.
I rather not have my account closed because violating their TOS especially when I know it's not a gift. Sure no person likes fees but $13 to get $450 the instant I sold something to be is just the cost of doing business.
