Pay no attention to him and his "rules". What he says means nothing to anybody but himself. He just like to hear himself talk and NEEDS to have the last word. This is now on my radar as well as racers. I would advise restraint and thinking through what is said here.

Just an opinion:
Asking for the BUYER to pay the fees and shipping is NOT unreasonable.
The arguments arevthat "Nobody asked you to sell your stuff." and "YOU are the seller, YOU take the hit."
This is exactly opposite to everyday life.
Literally EVERYTHING you buy.... the BUYER pays for ALL the costs. Production, shipping, handling, TAXES.... The buyer pays EVERYTHING.
The alternate argument could also be made:
No one is FORCING you to buy my stuff. If you don't want to pay extra fees, move along.
But denying the seller from actually being upfront and saying it's X price plus Y shipping us Z fees is antithetical to everyday life.
How many people complain about big companies NOT paying taxes?......they do. They just get YOU to pay it for them.
It's the same here. I just raise my price. 🤷♂️
So what difference does it make in the end?
Again, this is just my OPINION. Not trying to start any fights. Just giving food for thought.

I have no problem with people passing the fees on. Buyer chooses to accept. Paypal protects the buyer not the seller. Nothing wrong with the seller passing the fees on. I personally have payed the fees and had the seller pay the fees. Sometimes I willingly payed the fees for the added protection. I'm just saying these aren't rules these are buyers being cranky when they don't get the deal. I agree with most of them but they aren't rules.
