Sorry for putting it here mods, but i thought people should know this
in order to keep this organized, please post comments here (f/s forum)
 
I stopped taking PayPal on my auctions last year when they started the fees, and when they wouldn't stand behind their transactions unless you upgraded to a "Business" account (and pay the fees.) They even charge to send you a check now.

Looks like they are still having problems making money. I just transferred out what I had left in my account just in case they become another Dot Com Casualty



 
yes paypal are greeed s.o.b.s so just raise your shipping fee $1 more than what it would be to compensate. or just flat out put in your auction there is a fee for using paypal. i want to downgrade too!
 
I had to upgrade a few weeks ago to get my money because I went over their $100 limit. I don't think I'm going to advertise Paypal in my auctions anymore. I may still take it if the bidder request. I can usually get the money in my hands just as fast when they send a moneyorder.
 
I've to raise my S/H on DVDs by $0.50, computer products by $3 to $5., and any big ticket items by 2-3%. Maybe I'll post a subcharge if buyer is payping thru paypal.
 
Hehe... I just downgraded my account.

FYI -- It is illegal in most states AND against PayPal's TOS to charge a fee for taking PayPal.

The e-mail they sent about the raise in fees also said that they will give you a merchant account (lower fees) if you either:

A. Receive $1000 or more monthly

or

B. Provide them with proof that another merchant credit card co. will give you a better deal than PayPal.
