Hi
Why on other sites I never paid fees with paypal (normally 4.8%maxi) and here on Delcampe, many sellers ask till 20% fees( 0.65€ for a 3.60 purchase)?,!!
Good evenning

Personally.....and it's only my opinion....I think that Paypal fees should be split between buyer and seller 50/50

I know on Ebay their rule is that a seller can't charge for Paypal, but on Delcampe their ruling is nore relaxed....and so it should be !

I believe that if you look at an auction and it state 20% charge for paypal then it should be up to you then if you want to bid

There always is the alternatives of Cheques, Money orders, bank transfers, cash, auctionchex, and of course moneybookers.....Paypal isn't the "be all and end all" of payments

Unfortunatly for small value items paypals charges are really high, for example ...on a £1.45 sale Paypal will take a .25p cut. and on a £7.00 sale paypals cut is around .44p

As I said before....if you are not happy, simply don't bid and move on.....it's the seller who has lost the sale in the end !

bonjour cousin michel,

and how is my cousin this fine day? i hope he is not leaping from one of those bridges in anger. yes, a 20% PAYPAL fee does seem rather exhorbitant. i charge much less than that, but i do charge a fee. why, because i am a small, petite seller here on delcampe. i cannot afford the business expenses of a large company. and must include these fees to break even on my costs. i have not had many complaints from the hundreds of customers who i have sold to as i think they understand. and vice versa when i pay the fees myself. but karen's advise is also good, if you deem the expenses too much, don't bid. also leave a message to the seller that his fee is too high. perhaps he will adjust it or at least explain why it is so much. by the by, did you see my message about some bridge covers for sale in my auctions? take care mon cousin and have a great weekend.
