Paypal

Okay, I've been out of the selling game for a number of years, so maybe I'm just not informed. However, I thought that paypal only charges 3% if a credit or debit card is used? If checking is used there are no transaction fees I thought. So why does EVERYONE on this site and Audio Asylum ask for extra money when using Paypal? This seems rather disingenuous to me. If you want to cover paypal charges then make if for when Paypal actually charges you, if you want to make a few extra bucks then raise your price. It just irks me. What am I missing? Are there charges I don't know about?

US postal orders can be cashed at the post office. once they cash them, that money is yours. Period.
If they do not have enough cash on hand, take what they have, and get a NEW USPO money order for the rest. You know the one you get is good, and can safely deposit in in your checking account. (the cost to you is only $1.25 or so, and gives total peace of mind.

US money orders have one downside that seller can actually cash them and forget about sending the item giving no damn about feedback. There are tricks to get as much as upto a hundred of positive feedbacks and get away with cash in the pocket.

Marakanetz, regarding Slikric3000, some people just can't deal with it. He's probably well into Plan B.
