Beware of PayPal fees

We must post both positive and negative experiences when dealing w/ these companies.

Aside from extra fees due to currency conversion with international sales, PayPal in the U.S. is very simple with a fee of 2.9% of the transaction plus 30 cents.

Now whether or not that's worth it is for each person to decide. But it's a straightforward business transaction and is only a "ripoff" if you don't know the specifics.

Use PayPal or don't use it, either is a valid choice. Just know (aka, research) what you're getting into ahead of time.

I don't buy or sell outside of the continental U.S..

PayPal has worked for me.  Yes the fees are an annoyance, but I like the safety it brings to the transaction.

Paypal charges me like 3.2% now.

I usually offer buyers 2 options. Friend and family, no fee. 5%-10% more if they want to use the good&services options (to compensate for the risk).
