Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS

Really?

Odd how this has been brought to the surface.

I created a thread on this subject about 2 years ago and the vitriol that was poured forth you would have thought I was suggesting sacrifice your first born rather than refuse to pay the PayPal fee as a buyer!

How times change......

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.
