[FS} Odometer Rollover bundle of Twos

OK, so it's actually 2.9% plus 30 cents.

It's still a lot.

That is the fee that PayPal charges. Visit their website. Read their fee
structure.

Why does it cost you 3.5% ???

Are saying without saying that if somebody pays by paypal they have to pay
that extra 2.9% + 30 cents?

No. I am saying that if you pay me I must pay a fee to paypal since
they charge me that fee.

If you make an offer to buy something from me, and your offer is not
high enough to cover the fee, then I will not accept your offer.

It's just like everything you buy in a sto they price everything
higher than if you paid with cash because they must absorb the cost of
accepting credit cards or debit cards.

That's the way the real world works. You must cover the cost of
shipping and processing payments if made using a method that causes
increased cost.

So, like a store, no discount for paying with Cash? LOL!
Some people LIKE getting their money real fast. But it sounds like you wish
to have a check? I have been selling for 5 years now and ADORE getting
PayPal. I would NEVER pass my minute PayPal fee on to consumers.

So you would sell a $2000 bundle of Twos for $2000 and eat the
approximately $60 PayPal fee?

PayPal only charges a maximum of $5 for eCheck payments. I prefer them.
If folks want to use the credit card or existing balance payment
option, as long as they know it makes the transaction more expensive,
that's fine. Think of it as paying to go first class instead of coach.

-Fred Shecter

Yes, i think you are in agreement with me.


When i list on eBay I can;

1) Raise the price to reflect the actual cost of the PayPal and eBay
fees.

2) Same as 1 but I could offer a bonus for paying using a low cost
method (USPS Money ORders or eCheck). I usually do this by offering
free shipping for these higher priced items.

3) Refuse to accept the higher cost payment methods.

That's why I presented this here first, to give anyone interested a
chance to e-mail an offer to me before I list it on eBay so they can
factor in the costs and savings.

I've had a couple of folks pick them up in person to save even more.
They paid cash and shipping was zero. Exchange was always made in front
of an armed guard at a local bank branch or in the lobby where I work.

Do you understand how percentages work? What is 2.9% of $2000? That is
what we are talking about here.

Since that is so "minute", you should just be willing to eat it, right?

$58? yes, I would be willing to "eat it."

OK, Please list an item on eBay that cost you $2000 and start the
bidding at $2000. You can then show us that you are willing to eat the
fees and sell itmes for less than the actual cost to you.

We're waiting.

No I don't. I waited several days for people to make an offer via
e-mail. Nobody did, so I listed the item on eBay.

You never responded to my request which I will now repeat again he

Ah, I see I replied without looking at the expanded thread. D'oh!

You were agreeing with me and challenging the other person.

Sorry and thanks!
