Pay-Pal is a Joke!!

No, but they don't charge me sales tax twice...

Your missing the point....

It's 3% on eBay and 3% on PayPal....so combined, it's still less than the sales tax your paying at a store (unless you live in Delaware/NH, but that's irrelevant b/c of their state taxes).

They're letting you use eBay/PayPal for free, but making you pay for the typical sales tax price (6%)....I don't know how that makes them bad people/make it a scam.

And FYI, in most cases, you are paying twice for sales tax....your paying for the standard sales tax, and then your paying for the local sales tax.

Hell, in California your actually paying like 7 different ways for their 8.25% sales tax, or whatever it is nowadays.

It's almost illegal. When they come out and say that you have to use paypal, then they are forcing you to use their service with no other option. Right now however, you can ask the seller to accept a different form of payment. I have had sellers tell me that Ebay put a strike on their account for accepting cash or money order. That's illegel.

You say 6%, don't forget listing fees, reserve fees and starting price fees. It all adds up to more than 6%.

Yea, with smaller stuff, you're probably right. But if you sell something for $100, eBay/PayPal combined will take $6.30....it's 3% for each, plus the $.30 minimum.

WRONG it takes wayyyy more than that. It takes $9 in just fees from Ebay on a $100 sale

[jsab4807]

No it doesn't. Unless you spend a boatload on listing it (reserves, BIN's, extra pictures, blah blah blah), it doesn't cost anywhere near $9.

it cost me 8-10 for my Peterson lot and that wasn't even at $100...

like i said before it costs me $9 somthing for ever $100 sale, 1 card buy it now $100 check out the fee

[arod812]

No $9 in fees if it sells for $100. Usually $.35 to list it.........after paypal fees a $100 sale gets you maybe what $87 at the most prolly $85 and change

Just put my Mark Sanchez up fs (reluctantly)...if it sells at the bin of 300, they get $21

Hate to say it dude but I'm playin the worlds tiniest violin for ya if you end up eatin that $21. Only for the fact that I've never ever come even close to that kind of pull. So jealousy could very well be a key factor in my violin lessons that I'm enrolling in online right now....
