I'm still mystified...

Matches my views exactly! These sellers that state "paypal add 3%" are basically cheapskates. I don’t want to deal with them at all because this is a warning flag as to the type of transaction that can happen (if something goes wrong, their personality behavior is influenced by a "cheapskate" attitude).

bcoz seller can specify whatever one wants in his terms and conditions and you, the buyer can decide if okay or not to proceed.

It’s no different than shipping costs - some include them, while others don’t. When I post an ad it includes any transaction fees. When a buyer offers and I am willing to do a counter offer, it usually includes the buyer paying any fees associated with the transaction as it changes the transaction completely.

If I have a product and offer it at an amazing deal, I usually list a bottom dollar number as what I want to pocket. It is then up to the seller to determine the proper payment and he/she can avoid fees by doing a check or other form of payment.

I do think people forget that when they buy a product at MSRP, shipping and transaction fees are included in that price. When it comes to resale, sellers normally don’t want to pay it as they only view it as eating into their sale potential. It’s always interesting how the shoe fits when its on the other foot.

Not at all,I have already stated I sell a fair bit and ALWAYS do not charge PayPal fees and never will.

It is all kidology but you need to work the mentality and buyers just see it as another cost they should not be paying. Just add the fee into your price and do not even mention fees.
Try that on eBay and see how long your ad would even last never mind actually completing a sale.

So my shoes fit perfectly thank you!

When I buy a car at a dealer, new or used, I only discuss final out the door price.  That’s all that matters here. Final delivered price. We’re amateur sellers so I don’t worry about the sellers selling format or how they reach the final delivered price.
