language

Okay, so what's the magic language that meets the PP user requirements? And I'm not joking because when Paypal works for the buyer, I'd like us all to be in compliance. Example --
  • I have an item we agree is worth $100, and you want to buy it for that.
  • You want to pay with Paypal.
  • I want $100 and have a back-up offer for that amount from a buyer willing to transfer the money through a bank service for no additional cost (only to validate the $100 value as 'fair').

How do I state the price so that I get $100 and if Paypal is used, they get the fee from the right individual?

How's the mod supposed to watch over the buyer and sellers shoulder? Access to everyone's Paypal account? Signing that kind of statement would be as useful as the piece of paper Chamberlain came off the plane with from his trip to Berlin.
No need to access a members Paypal account, when a user states in their classified post an additional amount to be paid by the buyer to cover Paypal fees when utilizing Paypal they are in violation of the Payapl User Agreement, commonly termed a surcharge.

Well checkmate then.

Not like those folks could just not mention it in the ad and instead in direct contact with the buyer when selling said good.

I've had a few transactions in the Classifieds and all were very positive. Deals can be worked out offline on who covers what, and that's where it should happen between the parties involved. Trust is paramount, and folks on this forum have a good reputation with many happy experiences. I'm sure no one on this forum is making a lucrative living off of selling used bike stuff, so both parties decide what works best for them.

Sellers would still be in violation of the Paypal User Agreement, they are still charging an additional fee for the use of Paypal services.

Simple, if you are going to accept Paypal payment, price accordingly, ie, what you want to net for your goods.

Aaah, well if it's only light collaboration and treason, then there's no need for a special counsel.

I’m not charging extra for PayPal’s services I’m charging a fee for the extra time it takes for me to have to deposit the funds into my bank.

Who said anything about charging for using PayPal’s services?

Or just say, the price is negotiable, but it's about 3% + 30 cents higher than I'd like it to be.
