Yes. Besides the bold red at the top and bottom of the listing, it also says it in the body, and again in the notice I send out. This used to happen all the time, which is why I added the bold red.
I just declined the payment and let the buyer know.
Don't know yet if this one will be problematic, haven't heard back. In the past, none have been. I just explain the situation and they send either a correct paypal payment, or check/mo.

FatMan,
Because that would require upgrading to a premiere account. With Premiere accounts, Paypal charges a fee on every transaction, whether it be credit card or cash. Since I'm just selling extras and leftovers, I already lose money on the majority of my sales. I have no desire to lose even more.
Edit: Hehe, I just realized that's not a real question.
Russ, I think you should take mitigating circumstances into consideration. The buyer may have had problems as a child that are now being expressed by an inability to comprehend auction terms. And just because you lose money on these coins is no reason to permanently scar the fragile psyche of the buyer. Have you cleared your response with DCAM?
Hey Russ, are you really sure that you don't acceptith credit card through paypal? If someone asks again will you pukeith? I just really wanted to say that...
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
Well Heck i take credit cards thru paypal Russ, just have them send me the money and you send the coin!!! a win win... for your customer and for me.and for you, then you can tell everyone in your auctions you take credit cards ..
There is no fee if you have only a personal account. Thats the beauty of having only a personal account.
If you accept any credit card payment PayPal automatically upgrades you to a business account and charges like 3% on all payments, credit cards and transfers.
I messed up. I just upgraded to take a refund from someone that used a CC. I thought it would still be free on bank account payments I received. I may just cancel my account and go back to the personel account. Live and learn. Thanks.
You could make one of those annoying things that follows your mouse around the screen that says you don't take credit cards. That would get peoples attention.

The bidder giving you some trouble over his blindness?

Just trying to get a little excitement going.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something seems a bit wrong in your scenario.

you get to take credit cards and you dont have to worry about the 3% charge...

<< <i>What is the Paypal fee if they use a bank account to pay? >>
On a personal account, zero. On a premiere account, the same as it is for a credit card payment; something like 3% or so.
Russ, NCNE
Perhaps you could make the notice blink! And then add a background audio (In Russ' own voice!!) "I do not take credit cards through Paypal."
Just curious: since you don't take credit cards, do you at least offer a cash discount?

Pete,
You are brilliant! It shall be done.
AARRGGHHH! I just realized that the blink tag only works in Netscape and nobody uses that browser any more. Maybe I'll do scrolling.

That looks better, but you should add one more in the middle so no matter where they scroll to they can't say they didn't see it.
