I wonder if my customers would complain about paying me 9 times for an item....

Maybe I'll try retailing online the "Paypal/Ebay" way.

Question Answered During Aution = $10.00
Tea Cup = $10.00
Saucer = $10.00
Box = $10.00
Filling out Label =$10.00
Finders Fee = $10.00
Fuel Surcharge = $10.00
Drop off at Post Office = $10.00

Wow, that is a good business model!!

Hi vesivus,

I do believe you are 100% correct in what you are saying about the maturity of buyers that sellers have. It most certainly depends on what you are selling as to what kind of buyer, maturity wise, you will have.

Our oldest daughter sells to a lot of gamers and the stories she tells are hilarious at times and frustrating for her at others.

Great observation!

Therefore- how affected are you by any current PayPal actions?

I'm not sure what you are asking?

First, I don't display the PayPal logo because I'm not a fan of PayPal, I prefer almost ANY other method of payment as PayPal is the most costly method of receiving payments (for ME).

Of course I do accept PayPal and last time I checked about two thirds of all payments I receive are via PayPal. As for any changes that PayPal has or will make, they affect me exactly as they do for all sellers who accept PayPal.

people who are thankful for the 25 cents decrease have to thank people like us who gave feedback to them saying their fee is simply too high.

people who keep praising or say nothing will make us end up with conversion up to 2.5% from 1%; 2.5% is still reasonable some of you might say, then how about an additional transaction fee to 75 cents? Too much, ok we will lower it to 50 cents. Applause...

ebay and paypal are not at arm's length, their combined strategy eats into our profit and sometimes they make more than we do.

you have to stand up and be counted.

but it's true, we wouldn't be here today without ebay and paypal; life is so full of conflict 🙂

Tea, can you put several paragraphs in your response. When you do what you are doing, seems like you are desperate for attention, which you are not, right?

you have to stand up and be counted.... As in life.
