EBAY and PAYPAL
My email box continues to be over runneth with Ebay and PayPal questions. I'm unable to answer everyone's emails. So , in a nut shell , here goes in one message.
Ebay has become another American Dictator , giving the people the right to choose. It's either Ebay or the highway. Yes , you will have a PayPal account to be a selling on Ebay.
Everyone knows about PayPal. That's where scum bags get their money for free. That's the place , honest people go , to get ripped off and pay for it 2 times over and then some. What more do I need to say , without repeating myself , again ?
PayPal is free to sign up. You only pay for PayPal , when you sell an item. It is free to the buyer. It costs the seller. In other words , the seller incurs all costs for the PayPal transaction , along with the insertion fee , the sold it under 25$ fee , and the cost of adjustment fee for selling over 25$. This does not include interest penalties , state and local taxes or transport across interstate lines.
The nice part of using PayPal only auctions , is the fact , not everyone buying on Ebay has PayPal , so the seller now has a limited group of buyers , which translates into lower bids on items. I've watched Ebay since last July and I've seen the difference between PayPal only verses a choice of payments. The averages works out to be @ 87 % of the items sold for less with PayPal only auctions.
Having the PayPal only is a win win for Ebay , since they are not affected by the lower bids. Afterall , those items don't belong to Ebay and so , they have nothing invested. It's not their problem. Heh heh heh. Butt , it IS your problem to have PayPal if you want to sell on their Ebay
