Paypal vs ? ... a better option?

[capricdragon]

Hi there NT'ers.

Sold some stuff off eBay the other day.
it's been a while since I've been the 'seller'
Then came the Paypal fees and I realized, 'now I remember why I stopped selling online'
But.... if I ever needed to in the future, what other options are there for online, secure money transfers? (without the fees)

Paypal isn't the problem.  It's feepay (ebay)  

Paypal only charges the 2.9% which is a very fair and honest rate.  Feepay charges the 10% which is crucial.

You can try looking into Amazon Payments

Totally forgot about the high eBay final value fee. Oh well.
Thanks. I'll definitely research Amazon Payments.

I wonder if Square is going to venture off to online transactions. They're doing a helluva job with mobile transactions.

Thanks for the link Executive.
I think the kicker is the whole sending Gift payment through Paypal. Gift payments seem the way to go I guess.
But, the link to the previous thread mentions Paypal suspending someone's account for too many Gifts.

NO.


Post it on Ebay for X amount and offer a better deal straight through Paypal via an invoice for goods.

This is why I stoped selling on ebay. Ur only option is to adjust ur price to the pointthat ebay and paypal fee would not affect ur listing
