I am a bit angry. Not angry like someone hit my car, angry like I'm so sick and tired of how stupid people seem to be even after learning experiences and rules and all that are posted everywhere. If you cant find them, use google search. You can find ANYTHING IMAGINABLE there.
So, sellers being adamant, making the statement 'friends and family only' when using PayPal. I refuse to do it. If you want to sell me something, and are too cheap to pay a 4$ fee because you are selling something, then you should refrain from selling it on the Internet and bring it to a pawn shop or something.
Seriously, a $100 item will cost a fee of a couple bucks at most. Charge the fee in your overall item dollar amount? YOU are using PayPal. Paypal didn't choose to use you. Don't like it? Don't use it then.
I have seen and read about many who have gotten the crap end of the stick by trying to buy something that way. Ya know what? It doesn't go over so well when you give a stranger your money, and tell the bank while doing the transaction that you implicitly trust that stranger. They make off with your cash, and don't send you a product. Why? Because that payment was a gift.
Goods and services has a percentage charged back to the seller because PayPal insures your exchange. Are you still going to let people walk all over you as a buyer???
Don't buy anything from these people. They are just another Joe Schmoe who wants to get over because they think parking in handicapped spaces or leaving their kid in the back seat while they grab a cup of coffee is ok.
Just do yourselves a favor and whenever someone says 'I take PayPal, friends and family' reply to them and tell them they are wrong. The fee protects the buyer from a fake seller. It's the seller who is responsible to pay their fee for selling an item , not the buyers, because if it was the buyers responsibility it would be that way.
Ok blurb done. I just went through a few items in the buy/sell/trade thread and seems there are humans that are still trying to get over no matter how little it may be.
Out.
