Re: Paypal Surcharge
You're right it is only 2.9%. I charge 5% as an arbitrary number that is easy to figure and since I think it is a service to accept paypal to begin with. I list the 5% charge in my Ebay auction listing so people know it exists before they bid. Now that I know it is against policy I will not do it.
You can only transfer a certain amount of money to have a personal account. Most, if not all sellers get charged the 2.9% plus 30 cents. I have trouble understanding how any winning bidder could be upset about a charge that was stated before they bid and included in the EBay invoice. Further more, it seems absurd for a winnign bidder to be upset at me for asking for the 5% that was never paid to begin with, no matter how long it was after the payment was made.
