Go to the PayPal home page, and on the left side there is a link that says Is Pay Pal free to use. When that opens, click on the Fee Schedule and that should answer your questions.

mytmouz 01-13-2009 03:49 PM

None if you are buying, 3% if you are selling...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--YOU SELL $100 ITEM-PAY $3'00
SELL$ 10,000 ITEM PAY $300.00
IF SOMEONE DOESN'T COMPLAIN AND LIE ABOUT YOUR ITEM THEN YOU GIVE ALL MONEY BACK AND NEVER SEE ITEM AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\

IS THAT HOW IT WORKS 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I just sold an item and took a paypal payment on it. The guy that bought the stuff used a credit card through paypal. Paypal deducted about 3% of the payment for what I guess was a processing fee. So they charged me nearly 6 bucks for a $190.00 payment. I didn't realize they would do this so I stuck to the deal but next time I will warn the buyer he has to add the processing fee if he wants to make a payment with a credit card. The $6.00 wasn't that big of a deal but if it was a more expensive item I would've hated it.

myself i love pay-pal..i use it as much as buyer or seller will agree to..one thing is you have a buyer protection.if you pay for a item and shipping doesn't send to you within 10 days then you file a complaint with pay-pal.the seller then has 10 days to make it right with you..if he doesn't reponse back or make it right then pay-pal gives your money back and they go after the seller to get there money back..as a seller then as soon as person pays me with pay-pal i then transfer those fubds from pay-pal to my bank..this protects me from buyer changing his mind after paying me and cancer his payment..can't do that if it isn't in pay-pal account[that covers the scamers doing this]..i rather pay the $6.00 fee and be covered myself..another thing i find a + with pay-pal is some buyers may not have cash at time you are selling something but they have the all mighty credit card[pay later plain]so if you accept pay-pal then you still make the sell by accepting there credit card..
just my reasons i like using pay-pal as sending money and recieving money..and it is faster.if buying a part don't have to wait a week or 2 for pony express to get your moneyorder to seller or buyer before the part you need is sent..

Paypal is good for Buyers but sucks for Sellers. I've never had a problem with 5 years of using it untill last year. 2 guy within a month stuck me with a refund and kept the parts, paypal lets them get away with it. They will always side with the buyer on a dispute. But the kickers of it, think one was a 300.00 deal, they charged me 3% fee when I got paid, when they took the money back out they charged me 3% more instead of charging the jerk who was scamming me.

Another guy sent me a email telling me he'd send the product back if I paid him "more" money then he paid me. The guy wanted a extra $20-50.00 on a 65.00 part. I sent this to paypal and they still let the guy keep the money without sending me my parts. I use it but I am more careful with it now.

I get a lot of people using pay pal and it does suck and the fee's are high also i would rather take a credit card it is cheaper for me and i have had a buyer do the same thing tome paid then filed a complaint and kept the parts and it was all new parts i also sent pay pal all the info and pic's of the items and nothing it is a good deal for some one wanting to rip you off.

You hit the nail on the head. Ebay and pay pal SUCK. 3% for WHAT????? Seller gets the shaft everytime. Plus you can't give buyers negative feedback but they can give it to the seller. So, if they decide not to buy the stuff they bid on they don't have to and they can give you negative feedback.
What a great deal. :roll:

Not true .. I've had 2 jerks in the last 6 months who got all the money back including shipping and kept the good parts. Paypal sucks !!

The fee varies after so many dollars, the higher the dollar amoun the less percent they want.

Wish I knew how they worked it. In my case, they sent me the wrong item. I had to pay the shipping back on the wrong item, plus I had to pay the original shipping of it to me. When I complained to Paypal, they said even though it was not my fault I was shipped the wrong part, rules were rules. I ended up getting the original buying price back, so it cost me 19 in shipping on an $8.00 purchase...
