eBay Bucks new terms

[Rob D.]

Just one more reason for people to cheat eBay out of PayPal fees by using the gift option for purchases. A dish best served cold.

PayPal gets their fees from the sender on "gift" option payments. If I buy a $100 item from you and send PP as a purchase, I send $100 and you get $97 (or whatever). If I make the payment as a "gift," you get the full $100 but I pay $103. Either way, eBay/PP gets theirs.

Neither the sender nor the recipient pays any fees if the sender uses a bank account.

Bill,

That's only true is you're sending PayPal Gift using a credit card. If you're sending it from a PayPal balance or from a linked bank account, there is no fee.

Well, seeing as the implementation of Ebay Bucks, was most likely coupled with a fee increase for sellers in order to pay for it, I should expect Ebay to lower my seller fees, just a little bit................right?
