Default Ebay seller charging to use paypal

Posted By: Keith

I know it is not the popular opinion, but I have no problem with what this seller did (I know, I know, its against the rules).
The seller has to pay the listing fees and the final value fees. And on top of that has to give a percentage to paypal? Thats ridiculous. I have a problem with Paypal fees in the first place, especially given that ebay and paypal are owned by the same corporation.
I think paypal gives benefit to both the buyer and seller. I know I hate those rare occasions when a seller doesn't accept paypal and I have to trudge off to the postoffice to get a money order. I think splitting the paypal fees in half is a fine alternative, since both parties are gaining from the ease and convenience of instant online payment.
