Well, all for the simple reason ebay OWNS Paypal 🙄 Also it’s a fact that they double dip on all their consumers by charging ebay fees to list items, then charge payment fees to accept the payment for the item they charged a fee to sell in the first place.
I’m sorry you got ripped off hon. I HATE how that company works and they have truly monopolized the market so consumers aren’t left with many options otherwise. Nothing is safe these days.
Got a busted Windstone?

I also notice that paypal also get more when it comes to currency differences.
If the canadian dollar closes at .96 when you pay through paypal they value the dollar at .94 So I pay .02 cents more per dollar.Blackdesertwind wrote:drag0nfeathers wrote:Well, all for the simple reason ebay OWNS Paypal 🙄 Also it’s a fact that they double dip on all their consumers by charging ebay fees to list items, then charge payment fees to accept the payment for the item they charged a fee to sell in the first place.

I guess the difference now from having a Personal Account and Premier is, the Premier account can accept credit card payments…. I didn’t realize they were charging everyone their outrageous fees. And double-dipping should be illegal. When a company charges a fee for handling an item, and then another fee for processing the item, and then tells ME I can’t charge a fee for all that I do to sell it, is plain rediculous! It’s just as wrong as people who have two eBay accounts or a friend bidding UP the item they are selling, which happens way too often!

not purchased on Ebay, not just Craigslist. I thought that no matter who I sent the money to,
(Craigslist, forum members, on line, etc ) that if I sent it as regular payment, NOT as personal/gift,
that my purchases would be covered under their ” buyers protection” but it is not. I know that I took
a risk with purchasing something off of craigslist but I have never had a problem with someone until
now. I know many people purchase things off Craigslist and have their item/s shipped to them. Most
sellers are honest and true. My post is only to make people aware that Pay Pal ONLY gives their
” buyers protection ” on purchases through Ebay only. They told me that someday, maybe, they will
have it on all purchases but not now.We def appreciate the warning. Me and my hubby learned the hard way. Bought an item on CL via PP and the dirtbag just never sent it. We filed a dispute and of course, nothing. I wish we would have known beforehand.
That is why I wanted to post this information. I thought that as long as I paid the
” correct ” way, ( not personal/gift ) that I would have Pay Pal buyers protection. From now
on, I know differently. I really hope this warning has made a lot more people aware. 🙂OMG!! 😮 I had no idea, Pixie! Thanks for the warning. Thats so lame. I agree with Drag0n. Its ridiculous that if you want to buy anything online, you have to use either paypal or ebay or both. Convienant, but with a heavy cost. I HATE how Ebay and Paypal will bend over backwards to help the buyer who is unhappy, or worse yet, loves the item they bought from you, but pretends they dont like it, and files a dispute, and they get their money back, but the seller has no real protection. AND the sellers pay the fee. I have been requiring a tracking number or delivery confirmation number on everything I send, just so someone I sell to cant say they didnt get it.
Man, Im floored that Paypal got you that way, Pixie.

I bought something from the UK and got charged more then I should have for the currency conversion as well. I thought it was correct, but later I got a $2.18 secondary charge
