Again, I'm no levying additional fees. If you decided that you want to use paypal, then you take responsibility for the fees.
If you decided to use some external escrow service that charges fees, how is that my responsibility? There are many way to pay for items, most charge fees. I accept cash, personal checks, bank certified checks. I ship when my bank tells me the item clears. Or one can come by and pick up the item. non of these methods imposes any fees.
But if a person absolutely insist on me using some service that imposes fees so that they can feel better and safer. Well, okay, but you pay the fees.
Again, I don't see an issue here. This is not the same as a retail provider charging for cash or credit purchases. Their price includes the credit card provider's fees, to charge more says that they are double dipping and getting the fee twice.
But, as I said, I am not a retail provider. I am not a store. I don't use credit services. not the same thing.
I sold a Mercedes SL600 a few months ago to a gentleman in Germany. The price was agreed on. The buyer paid all fees. Shipping, wire transfer fees, etc. and the price of the car we agreed on. He wire transferred the funds into an established account that I opened. My bank told me it cleared. He arranged a shipping company to come and pick up the car. I transferred title once the payment cleared and signed for the delivery. My responsibility ends there. There is no difference here, unless you are a retail provider or store masquerading as a private seller.
I guess I'm not seeing the issue. I find it amazing that someone would want me to pay fees for a service that they insist that I use that I typically wouldn't use. That makes no sense to me.
