Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS

Truly admin?
Seriously?
Just what about my last post was deemed worthy of being removed?

Well let us repost it (worded slightly differently to see if content or) and see what happens.


When I see on an ad "buyer pays 3% paypal fees" or similar I just move right along no matter if I am truly interested in the item in question.

However what I found even more ludicrous was a couple of dealer ads that suggested that the buyer should not only stump up the paypal fees but also THEIR Audiogon selling fees as well.

Needless to say they received emails which they did not have the decency or courage to reply back to.

wow, even I am amazed that that message got dumped by the admin.  There was nothing inflammatory in the message and it was not attacking any user personally or impartially.

I just don't pay any attention to the whole "PayPal, add 3%" thing.  If want to buy an item, I'll just let the seller know the total amount I'll pay.  The seller can take it or decline to sell. 

Right On! mtrot
Happy Listening!

I never charge Paypal fees since the auction price is what I agree to anyway, and it seems to complicate things. I also charge a reasonable "flat fee" for shipping that covers most of the CONUS and if I'm off by a few bucks, so what? I control the whole thing by having a minimum price anyway, so alienating those who dislike Paypal fees seems like a bad idea.
