Paypal groups

[Xylitol]

I was thinking that Paypal should allow people to create groups. It would cost a dollar or more (to paypal) to join the group, and all transactions inside of the group is free of the Paypal deduction.
We could create an AT group and everything

Is there a way to suggest ideas to Paypal/eBay?

And how would they rape us if they can't charge us?

Why would you need a group for this? If you want a way to get out of Paypayl deductions, why don't you suggest some sort of Gold Membership where you pay $80.00 a year (arbitrary amount). This is the same idea as Amazon Prime where you pay a set amount annually and you get all items you order shipped 2nd day for "free"

But some people like me only buy and sell at a few forums and it'd be great to save more money in the long run

Their goal is to make money, not save you money.

Don't you understand that the way these memberships work is because it's profitable to the company. Using my Amazon example, most people don't order enough things to make the shipping costs equal $80. If I ordered 3x a year, it might cost Amazon $40 to ship my stuff, so they get $40 profit.

Or if you have a Costco membership that costs $30 a year. You might only shop there 5 times a year and the money you save might add up to $25. So they made $5 profit.

If you pay them a group membership fee of $1 as you suggested, how do they make any money? Say you had a group of 10. That's $10 that they made and they are going to waive all your fees?

A single transaction of $333, at 3%, would net them the same $10 they would make from your whole group.

I've done single transactions of nearly $2k. You think Paypal would give up charging me fees (in this case $60) in exchange for me paying $1 to join the group?
