If you have the basic account no, but if you have a premium account you do.. A prmium account allows you to accept credit card payments. Aside from that with a basic acount you are now only allwed to accept 500 dollars per month.

I have a premier account, I take credit card payment( just doubled checked, to be sure). It will only allow me to withdraw $500 a month. Is there a step higher than premier account that allows people to withdraw more than $500 a month?

If you already have a Premier account and cannot withdraw more than $500 per month they require more information from you. A social security number on file lifts this restriction.

kingraider75

they already have my credit card and one of my checking account numbers, so until I get around that $500 withdrawl limit, then I won't give them my SSN.A guy at work is going to cancel is paypal interest earning account, because they are asking for his life story. All cuz of the terror threats I suppose.
Too much fraud out there anyway. I prefer to pay cash for almost everything, except for ebay purchases.

I was refering to the 500 dollar recieveing limit not the withdrawal limit.. If you have a Paypal Debit card you can withdraw more than 500 a month. You can also have them charge your card 1.95 which will be added to your Paypal account after your next purchase. The charge on your account will have a 4 digit number when you enter this into your paypal account they will lift the 500.00 limit on withdrawals

I believe if you have a regular account, where you can NOT accept credit card payments, the payments from a bank tranfer are with no fees, buyer and seller.

Would any of you know if it is okay with Paypal, and/or Ebay, for a seller, with a premier account, to request an extra dollar, or equivilent extra fee based on probable final sale price, if one uses Paypal to fund their payments ? I would like to include some verbage of this extra buck or so, in an ebay listing since I , perhaps foolishly, "upgraded" to a premier Paypal account.

kingraider75

I guess you could include it with your S/H or I have seen some people tell buyers to add a % if they pay via credit card.

As a buyer, it's kinda of annoying to have to add a % because of the method of payment the seller accepts. Whenever I see the fees on paypal, I kinda cringe, but then I figure that people will bid more if they can pay via paypal funded by a credit card.

NO..you cannot have a surcharge for PayPal users....against both eBay & PayPal rules..you can be suspended for it.

In California, and I'm sure other states, this is against the law.

You can add it into your S/H like many sellers do.. But by saying if you pay with Paypal you must add an additional X.XX or X% you are in violation of many laws. Ebay will suspend you for it and Paypal has the right to freeze your account if you are caught doing so.

kingraider75

I have seen some people say that. I thought it was weird. I am sure most just hide it in their S/H as much as possible. Even that would be hard to do if you say what the S/H is in the auction. That's why I don't like seller who say that S/H will be determined after the auction has ended. Sometimes I feel they are going to try to recoup all of the fees and possibly guage more than accepted.

easttexascardsandgames

I charge 2.00 S/H and it covers a majority of the fees and that it don't just comes off the selling price. It amounts to something like this on the 2.00

Shipping .49
card holder and sleeve .06
Listing fee .25 I start all my auctions at .99 cents or less
Delivery Confirmation FREE
Bubble Mailer .06
The rest goes into FVF and Paypal fees.

And bubble mailers for 6 cents??

Buy the mailers 500 at a time on Ebay.. If you use Paypal to print your shipping you get DC for free.

Well a quick check showed me that now they are about 8 to 10 censt each on average been a couple of months sinc I bought any last batch was 500 for 31.00 delivered. Still it is alot cheaper to buy them in losts of 500 than other ways.

You had better double check free DC when using PayPal to ship. If you go first class mail PayPal charges a $.20 surcharge and $.13 DC fee. Any other shipping class is free though.

DirtyHarry

This thread took a twist, but yes - you get charged a fee from Paypal when you get a direct balance payment. As to the rest, just state your fixed S/H fees. You don't have to "explain" them to anyone. The buyer should consider the S/H fees to coincide with their bid. Charge what you want for S/H and understand that.

Personally, I don't like auctions where I have to click on the shipping calculator to understand my costs on this. Handling charges can be added. I like looking/buying from sellers who have their fixed S/H cost stated. Best regards.

easttexascardsandgames

I have never paid it and neither have several other sellers I know they were the ones who told me about it.. Even at 13 cents it is still covered so no big deal there. I do pay the paypal fee for printing postage online, but figure that into the Paypal fees. Also at the end of the year ALL your paypal fees and Ebay fees are tax deductible, so are all your shipping fees.

Auctions that don't state S/H I hit the back button and the shipping calculator is notorious for being inaccurate. I agree if I want the item and I can get it cheap enough I will pay anything for shipping. I always figure the shipping into my bid price.
