Do i have to cancel my card to not get charged ?? it doesn't give me that option , i am automatically charged, i must be doing something wrong here?? just asking

I admit , i have been guilty in the past of paying for goods using family and friends only because i didn't mind paying the fees and i didn't want to make an issue of it with the seller . I know you can do transaction with paying as goods and adding the 3% but then you have to do the math yourself and if you don't do perfect math it too can become an issue . There has got to be a better way here , my .02 centsLast edited by nmnorth; 09-24-2015, 11:09 AM.Comment

This is actually a good topic...
I always chuckle when I hear people bitch about the 3% (or whatever it is) that PayPal charges for their service (some people refer to it as PayPal's "greed"). So they charge a fee for their service, whats wrong with that? Following that demented logic then, there must be a lot of people who work at their jobs for "free" as well as I assume no one accepts a paycheck from their employer. To accept a paycheck from your employer for your services would be only done as a result of one's "greed".
Hypocrites.
Don't like PayPal, don't use them..there are options....send cash, personal checks, COD...hey its the internet...everyone is who they say they are...what possible risk could there be?

At least with paypal , if you get ripped off , they will refund your money in time , what do you think the 3% covers . Now if you send cash , or money order , personal checks and get ripped off and you live in new york and the other guy lives in texas , how you gonna get your money back , drive down and get the cops?? yea right !!This is actually a good topic...

If I am the seller, I would WANT to pay for that.
I always send for ''goods and services" and if the seller would rather get pay as "gifts" then I send a few dollars more to cover for him. This has happened when there is only one low dollar item and after the deal is struck I would PM the seller to inform him of my offer. I admit that this is my personal style and is not for everyone but I feel (especially if the seller is a long time known member) that a little good will goes a long way.
As far as "patience" is concerned:
I agree that for a repeat offender it is a good thing to "air out the laundry" as a warning to fellow hobbyists, my 1st post was to say that in my case I had given a longer time to the seller for the very reason that before I was 100% sure that there was a problem I would rather not annoy the seller, my take is that before the inevitable, it is desirable that the relationship between the two parties not get too sour.
That seller has not been active since my deal and he did not default on me, so I think to post a warning is unwarranted in the final analysis.....
Communication is important and how and what should be communicated depend on the individual. If I were the seller I would do my best to disclose every aspect of the item and post photos of every angle to show the issue at stake.
I would also be clear about when I could ship and to that end I usually make it clear before I receive payment.
If someone is dishonest, no matter how long they try to conceal that, sooner or later they expose themselves and if one is dealing with one of them, then there is little one can do, and the "headache fees" kicks in.Too many boats, not enough time...
