Geez! I think my Paypal is with a credit card also. Why is this a bad thing?

homer09 · 17th January 2005, 04:41 PM

Paypal through credit card has extra charges for the receiver.

UrSv · 17th January 2005, 04:52 PM

Yes, a few % so why worry? PayPal is not a Non-profit organization.

First time I hear anybody complain about a small fee when handling pcoket money through PayPal...

homer09 · 17th January 2005, 05:00 PM

depending on which credit card, you will be charged about 3% for credit card transaction. 3% is quite a bit on the size of the order jrsun is taking right now (over $1000).

verifying your account to allow to pay through a bank account is not too difficult a process. also, if you dont like the ordering rules, then just dont order right?

Variac · 17th January 2005, 05:32 PM

Well, if it turns out that a little discussion clears up a problem so that all can order, then what's wrong with that? Of course the final decision is always up to the purchaser and jrsun. Perhaps they could add 3% to their order and jrsun is happy, perhaps that still doesn't work and we have to stick with the established rules. I don't see why discussing an issue is a problem.

Whether true or not, I think some people prefer to use Paypal linked to their cards because they think it might give them more recourse if the information gets in the wrong hands. I know that you are able to cancel charges that aren't made by you on your credit card if you weren't the one making them. This isn't to imply we don't trust jrsun! just that in general, ordering online we prefer not to have money in our accoiounts directly accessible to Paypal- a servce that gets scammed regularly.

Variac, you have a valid arguement. much better than just complaining. well the final decision is for jrsun to make. but he doesnt seem to be around these past days, i still have no reply about the sizing of the rca's and binding posts (explained in a previous post on this thread).

Variac · 17th January 2005, 08:48 PM

But you also have a point homer09. I didn't realize that the credit card makes it cost more- but it makes sense. Probably jr is just trying to keep the cost as low as possible, and keeping track of how people pay might be more hassle. Wow, this is the most civilized discussion online ever!
