Paypal fees

[curtsr]

Okay prime, Shouldn't this be enough? Paypal fee or not, let it be the seller and buyer to deceide! This post starts to feel like a bunch of under age teens arguing about their better looking girlfriend, KIDS! We're all adults here and let's start acting like adult!

Sorry that you saw my post as vitriolic. To the contrary, I felt that it was exactly on point, timely, non-personal and highly germane to the topic.

Doc was on the right track. I did not post to flame Scorp- anyone who listens to UFO and drives a Red/Tan is OK in my book. We appear to operate differently and I thought this thread was a discussion of fees.

I did say "please have at it in a good natured spirit", didn't I?

Doc was on the right track.

And his use of the comma was AWESOME.

Since I just posted a GB thread and specifically pointed out the addition of Paypal fees, I'd like to offer my opinion on the matter. I work in logistics as a freight forwarder, we make our money on marking up transportation/shipping costs for clients. As a small business owner making parts for cars I love, I like to be as transparent as possible - that means showing the cost of goods as its own item, and offering options passed through at cost for the form of payment and shipping methods. I wouldn't divulge my markup for my carreer to a client any faster than I'd divulge the markup for an engine damper kit...but what I won't do is take a markup on the damper kit, and an additional markup for Paypal/shipping. I'd rather know that the part I sold was paid x amount for, and then I can worry about that by itself without clouding margins with shipping/materials/fees costs.

May not be the smartest business decision I've ever made, and to some potential buyers, they may be put off by the additional costs, but I think it's a more honest approach to doing business on small market, specialty items sold on internet forums.
