That was me. Why would you "turn me in"? It is stated in the terms of my auctions that there is a 5% surcharge. I don't check every paypal payment to see if the 5% was paid most of the time; but this time I checked. Only one person included the 5% with payment. I accept paypal as a service to the buyer, I would rather get money orders. I guess I will stop accepting paypal which is a bummer for buyers since it is so convinient. So again I ask, why would you turn me in?

Jason,
I don't think he'd really turn you in, but if it's against eBay's TOS, then why would you continue to tack a 5% charge on?
Especially being that the charge is (as I understand) only 2.9%?
Here's a little tip: charge an extra 3% in your shipping/handling charge.
EBay can't sniff it out and nobody would really notice unless it was a higher-priced item.
Also remember that Western Union is up to 15-18%!
Highway robbery.
There are alotta things that are starting to reek outa eBay. People are dumping their accounts daily.
The Buy It Now option is almost useless with the scammers clicking on every auction and mass-mailing bogus money orders outa Nigeria and Russia.
