Paypal: suck my dick (same thread as HLP)

[MatthewPapa]

Well I finally got around to selling some stuff on ebay. I had about $24 worth of auction items end last night. I discovered today to my great dismay that paypal charges a rediculous 2.9% and $0.30 for all incoming credit card payments. This is the biggest racket I have ever seen in my life. Here is why.

Auction 1
8.00*.029 + .30 = $.53
Auction 2
9.00*.029 + .30 = $.56
Auction 3
3.00*.029 + .30 = $.38
Auction 4
4.00*.029 + .30 = $.42

So this basically means that I have to give them 2 dollars (10% of my hard earned $$$) just so I could use their crappy online banking service to get a credit card payment. What a rip off :mad::mad:

They sure know how to make money without doing much.

A nice concept, for a lazy guy like me. Perhpaps I'll put up something like 'Brain Pal'... just a thought though. ;)

Well, I guess I always hated things like PayPal for a reason.

lol.

Hey, I want in on 'Brain Pal'... >)

that's why you don't use things like ebay. But then I don't need to sell or buy anything other then computer parts so I can just go to a few forums that i know to get what i want.

And how much does the ATM charge you for withdrawing cash when it's not one of your banks'?
