3% for a safe transaction whats the problem? I use pay pal and recieve pay pal with over 200k in transactions and my moneys allways good . I dont have to wait to ship and my buyer dosent have to wait to get what they bought ,I guess thats why my auctions do so well I proubally get 5% more for the same item as someone who dosent take pay pal so im 2% better off

When the fee for receiving $500 is $15, that seems like a big penalty for convenience. Knowing that I've just paid Ebay the listing fee and commission, it stings a little to give them $15 more just to receive money that way.

Also, I had someone pay with Paypal and bogus account / credit card information. I got the payment right away, shipped right away, and then the money got yanked from my account a week later. Parts were gone, money was gone. Lesson learned. To be eligible for their seller protection policy, be sure to read it all and follow it to the letter.


Therefore, unless I've dealt with the person several times and am comfortable with them, I avoid accepting PayPal when the dollar amounts get higher.
