You where the teachers little snitch in school weren't you.

People don't put prices in the title because it can't change it on their own, normally a mod must do that.

If you go to edit and then "go advanced" you can change it... Or At least put the price in the first line of text, so you can see it when you mouse over it in the preview...

Nah, cant change the title once you "bump" the thread, or someone replies-then the "Title" is set in stone- and cant be changed. You can change the sub-header-one that can be seen once the post is opened-but most dont notice that one..But + for include the price-and it is a rule. As far other likes and dislikes--Should be seller controlled, and not the "Trolls" looking to make rules on price or whatever. As long as the seller is following the rules-If buyer doesn't like the price--"MOVE ON" there should be no need to comment-make a worthless post or interfere in any way, and if you feel you must--do it in a PM--It will make both of you look better, and show that you are are adults-even if you are not.....end rant

I hope you tried to educate them first that they were not abiding by the rules...or else it's just being a rat and having way too much time on your hands. Just don't buy their product(s) then. No need to run to paypal. Just my 2 cents.

any ad that even mentions paying as a gift is a major red flag to me.

BINGO!! I skip over any ad that has "pay as a gift or pay paypal fees". I won't even bother contacting the person. It's a personal decision but I find it kind of sleazy.

That being sad, I have paid paypal fees for people I've bought from if they had a good rating and I got a good deal from them (AND they didn't ask for me to pay it).

Paypal fees need to be in price...bottom line. A business has to pay CC fees for credit card purchases but they dont have a price +credit card fees....they just have a price with their over head included, bottom line. If you sell locally and want to do the right thing, cut the price down some that would have covered your paypal feel for the buyer.

I can see "Plus shipping" on some things or in some cases, cause depending on where its going and how much someone buys, shipping price can go either direction. I just try to include it in my pricing and if i eat it , i eat it. Personally when i buy something i like 1 price...that way soon as they give me their paypal i can go send the money...not wait for shipping quote and figure out the % fee for the service you as a seller are using to make it easier and safer for you.

Paypal as a gift is being taken advantage of and im sure paypal will jump on it soon. Paypal gifts are NOT covered by the buyer protection, they are considered gifts and you shouldnt have gotten anything in return anyway. If your selling something and take paypal as payment then you need to pay for that service, just include it in your price.

Personally, I don't care either way whether a seller asks for an additional 3% to cover paypal fees or not - I just do the mental math and add it to the price. What difference does it make how the price is listed, or why a person is asking for a certain amount of money for their item? You're either willing to pay the price or you're not, regardless of whether they added a $2 "had to type this advertisement" fee.

Regarding the "it's against PayPal's TOS" justifications for ratting this guy out and getting him banned, I hope you're getting a paycheck from PayPal for your excellent policing of their usage policies. It wasn't like this guy was trying to scam you or otherwise rip you off - you just didn't like how he listed his price and decided to exact petty vengeance against him.

Damn, dude. That's weak. Hope you feel powerful now.

Yeah, the fees are the sellers repsonsiblitiy, clearly. They are the ones using the service to quickly and easily transfer funds to thier bank account. It's a service, you pay for it. I will NOT pay a seller's fee's, and have turned down several deals because of it. However, once I explain that It's a peeve of mine and will cost them a sale for $2-$3, they usually agree that it's thier issue to cover them, not mine.

How this whole "add 3% or pay as gift" crap got started I'll never know, but it ain't happenin here.

I sell quite a bit on here and Ebay, I wont go into ebays fees....thats another story.
The whole add 3% for fees or send as a gift really is ridiculous and it is hurting peoples sales. Its really just laziness on the sellers part. Its not that hard to just to add the 3% into your price. Its only $3 for every hundred.
So if your bottom dollar is $100 on an item charge $103 or $105, whatever.....rocket science huh?

This is an interesting point. I have a lot of experience with buying and selling on other forums dealing with MUCH more expensive items than rc cars, and 95% of the time payment is paypal plus fees. A lot of people offer the option of a money order, but that is more of a hassle for the buyer so they have no problem covering the fees. Honestly it seems like a respect issue. This can also be seen in the fact that scamming is ten fold here in comparison.

Actually far from it. When people are trying to take advantage of others in a sale were it adversely effects the buyer that's just wrong. The seller knows his responsibility when listing an item and should abide by those rules.
