Well for the record I am very careful who I buy and sell from... the one time I did have a problem, paypal covered it... in over 500 ebay transactions and god only (well some of you guys probably have and idea too..lol) how many forum deals I've had..... I never have had an issue with them.... I've funneled well, well over $100,000 through them with all good transactions... I use xxxx transactions here to help keep my selling/buying costs down from people I trust... but every other forum I either pay the fees or suck em' up...

My main thing is IF someone is so freaking worried about the few dollars that paypal charges add 3.6% to the asking price and then you don't have to post BUYER PAYS PAYPAL FEE'S. It's a turn off when I am looking at the threads. I have let items pass by because of seeing that. The average sale on OSE is $100.00 that means paypal charges $3.60 for the transaction. Would'nt you rather know you have some kinda recourse if a deal did go bad. The people that are claiming to have had paypal just ignore them and not help them must not have done everything by the book. I was taken care of quickly by Paypal. We all know that there are bad traders on this site and every other site we get on. I guess I would just rather be a honest person and that way no one can say any different.

I never ask a buyer to pay the fees or send money as a gift, if they do thats their own choice, nor will I pay paypal fees if I am a buyer, just pass on the deal and move on. I've never seen the who gift thing or pay fees till I got here.

Everyone who says screw PayPal should use alternate methods of payment...no-one is holding a gun to your heads........

Sometimes I will ask for paypal fees if I feel like I'm selling an item for pennies on the dollar, or if the buyer is far away from me and shipping runs higher than expected. Its nothing against paypal. Just a way to make up a little on the sale. Why give it away? Especially if your a member that I see here a lot and feel like I can trust. If you screw over another member, you bet he's gonna let everyone here know about it. I always send money as a gift unless I feel unsure of the selling member. I don't see what the big deal is? Everyone likes a good deal, and if I can shave 5-bucks of the price by asking for money as a gift, then you should be happy too.
