PayPal - Ebay double WHAMMY!

Since Paypal is owned by Ebay all sellers that sell using PayPal are paying
double commissions on their items.

I for one intend to boycott PayPal and not accept any more payments through
it. If all sellers protested, Ebay would have no choice but to change their
policy of gouging their clients.

Boycott the usurers!

Was PayPal free before eBay bought it?

Ian

No. But it was bought by E-bay as a way to eliminate competition. Now it all
stays in the family.

And now that E-bay has eliminated the competition, they operate without
restraint, billing clients twice, first on commisions from the seller, and
again when they facilitate payment through Paypal.

I think it is only fair and in their interest to facilitate payment from the
seller, without gouging everybody in the process.

It is a clever marketing strategy from E-bay, but it borders on thievery.

This guy is an obvious troll since everyone knows that eBay and PayPal fees
are criminally, insanely, and ridiculously low.

And you're an obvious ass-kissing bitch who works for E-bay. Nothing like
covering your ass, right?

This makes no sense. If you don't want to utilize Paypal features,
don't sign up for them.

Hello - no one requires one with the other.

1st hint - stop taking Paypal if you don't believe their fees are worth
the services you get.
2nd hint - stop selling on eBay if you don't believe their fees are
worth the services you get.

Is that really all too difficult to understand?

You're an oblivious top-posting twit, using the first (and most
laughable) argument that AMOEers see.

"You disagree with me so you must work for
PayPal/eBay/Yahoo/Amazon/Western Union/Norfolk N Way."

In other words, you're too boring and predictable to bother reading
any more...

I held out for as long as I could in not accepting PayPal, but alas
now I must do so. It has gotten to the point where the time and
energy expended
on chasing up slow- and non-paying bidders who are too lazy to mail a
payment or who can't correctly address and stamp an envelope (or
whatever other reason) costs me more than the PayPal fees.

Of course, eBay has done much to encourage this mindset.

They have also made the NPB process as complex as possible to
encourage sellers to drop or forget or lose track of such cases. Of
course, this was all done under the guise of "improvement" of services
for sellers. Yeah ... right.

More and more eBay's actions remind me of Microsoft's monopolistic and
manipulative practices.

And it's a drinking game entry:

-- Two drinks for every time someone losing an argument on AMOE
posts any variant of "You're a eBay/PayPal shill"
-- Three drinks if the variant is "You're a eBay/PayPal employee"
