I'm still mystified...

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. 

I was just wondering. If it is "ok" by Audiogon standards to let sellers add a percentage for Paypal fees, would it be "ok" to charge the buyer the fee for the ad also? I wonder how far my ad would or wouldn't go if I did this. lol.....Just sayin'.

I did see a dealer list an item on here once where not only did he ask the buyer to pay the paypal fees but the audiogon fees as well, seriously.

I did send him a message about the absurdity of that but he did not bother to reply

Sellers like to have the asking price as low as they can to attract buyer attention and further down the ad add the additional fees that are part of the transaction. This is not unusual because there are few things that you can buy without paying some kind of additional fee.

Buy a pair of speakers at your local dealer and that $1,000 cost you agreed to becomes $1,070 when he rings it up due to sales taxes.

It’s nothing to get angry about. Costs for the seller can vary depending on whether the buyer can pick up the item at the seller’s house and pay cash vs shipping across the country and paying with Paypal. Don’t get mad, offer the seller what you want to pay including Paypal and shipping and see if he accepts your offer.
