who pays the fee when using paypal?? seller or buyer??

[iamlegend]

this is the second person to say I pay the fee using paypal??

sure you have to ask the buyer to add the 4% fee on or has that all changed or what lol??

2 people in 2 days say I pay the fee???

I ask for the 4% or gift it.... Why should the seller pay for the fees for the buyers protection?

If the buyer wants protection, they should have to pay for it, imo...

[daniel_g]

Paypal says the seller covers the fees.

But fuck that the buyer should take the 4% hit imo.

spot on way in saying it tbh! just replied with this to the seller lol...

Yeah i always say gift or add 4% or ill state that its inclusive of fees.

When buying ill also add the 4% myself unless the sell says otherwise. I dont see why the seller should take the 4% hit when the protection doesnt benefit them.

Personaly when I've sold things on here i as the seller payed the fees as i think thats the way it should be.

[Glanza-Ben]

Buyer always pays fees I say

[Gainzy]

Definitely buyer as the seller has to pay postage and it's their own money to cover

[amatthews45]

As a buyer I always pay the fees unless I know them personally.

As a seller I request people to pay the fees.

i think its best that the seller sets his price and counts the 4% onto the price and puts that price in the ad saying paypal iclusive problem solved

[Whitenoize]

The buyer should pay the fees it covers them incase anything goes wrong

[5e colin]

Top marks saves a lot off sxxt

Since the dawn of paypal the 4% has been on the sellers side, but it seems to be different on this forum. It's part of the way Paypal fists people for trying to make money through them.

[JayJ]

I think sellers should mention on the ads that fees need to be added on top of the price, otherwise it's the sellers problem to pay them.

[WallaceGlanza]

Agree with the guys above in that why should the seller pay for the buyers protection? Its almost an insult for a genuine seller-like myself, as its basically the seller saying he doesnt trust you....people managed fine before PayPal without any protection when people would send cheques in the post!

[Chops]

As paypal worm their way out of covering cars or their parts usually, you have no real reason not to just send as a gift. i still get annoyed when people ask me to cover the 4%, cover it yourselves you cheapskates, its usually like 3 quid tops .

[5e colin]

i dont see why all the sellers are getting up there horse just ad the 4% to the price in the ad problem solved then is the buyer send as goods or gift the seller still gets his 4% !!!!!

your the seller so make the effort to calculate 4% on it no more problems ha ha
