Ebay/Paypal's ridiculous fees

[Altynbekova]

Now you feel the pain that UK sellers feel when they see what they earn after VAT.

Not only the UK paying tax try the netherlands after taxes it aint funny either. But I hate it that now even online we getting thrown to dead with "taxes".
Paypals fees are the most ridiculous they don't even give you any good service and you still pay fees.

[Newcoins2020]

Both of these services have ridiculous fees and I am happy I don't use either of them. In my country we have a local kind of ebay and I rather use that since it's fee free and also we have a local payment method which is fee free so I am happy for that cause I don't like to lose all my money on fees.

[praprata]

They have very high fees best to use a different payment method than paypal too cause paypal is not such a good service.
They make alot of trouble and other payment methods are way better with less fees than them.

Yeah i know right it's the same bull*** they are just taking our money actually. Same for ebay and paypal just implementing crazy taxes.
I don't know why anyone would still use paypal anyways nowadays to be honest it's such a bad system with so many flaws.

[sishendaoye]

These companies really have a very big ridiculous fee it's incredible but I don't ever use paypals service anymore.
Paypal really screwed over alot of customers and paypal accounts are being hacked constantly. Just feels like one big scam.

After the bitcoin become more popular and it is used a 10% of the world population, the Paypal will use bitcoin.

Oh this   news is good since  paypal would really have  the  plan to adopt a crypto  to its service. Well lets wait for more  information regarding  on this news. Its quite interesting that they are already engaging  on crytos which is somehow an advantage for us bitcoin users but they must  implement low  transaction fees.

This is indeed something very good news for the growth of krypto. However I think that paypal will not accept bitcoin as one of the transactions that can be conducted in their service, because the owners do not have the bitcoin certainly and also do not have a company or anything that could give the submission of partnership

True but they can still  put  up  or add  up transaction  fees on each transaction that you would made  for sure excluded on the   transaction  fee on bitcoin transfer  itself. Thats why it would  be the same story when bitcoin is being used  on  paypal services they would  surely put  up  huge add up amounts  on each transactions.

Ebay and paypal both have ridiculous fees indeed if you compare bitcoin fees to paypal fees then bitcoin is next to nothing you pay for.
In a year if you use alot of paypal you waste alot of money just  to pay for fees, so I prefer to not just paypal anymore at all cause it's a bad service.

that's right,if we calculate the total of fees which we just spent for paypal especially if we're making bunch of transaction and consistently everyday it's such a big waste of money and due to their bad service which too strict and sometimes it's really make me pissed,really not worth it

[bitlancr]

Ebay and paypal both have ridiculous transfer fees which really stack if you use both services so I'd advice not to use paypal for their crazy fees.
Ebay is okay though I mean the fees they take are understandable and not that much for a buyer just for sellers.

I am sure that paypal is seeing bitcoin as a threat to their business so instead of competing with bitcoins, paypal is just going to adopt the usage and network of bitcoin. They are really greedy because they want to cover all the users and customers all over the internet and if that happens that CEO of xapo is really hired with paypal then possibly that they are going to charge high fees with bitcoins too.

Well the notice has been difused here about the ceo of xapo has been hired from paypal, soo i do believe its a question of time till we get some good new about the crypto world, and with paypal behind.

That's a very high fee to sell an item for 100$ and they take 14$ wow because if you'd sell 10 items you'd lose already 140$ against a 1000$ you should've made which is crazy if you ask me.
I don't use any of these services gladly cause I wouldn't be happen with paying that high of a fee.

[iv4n]

Cause I never used paypal and ebay before I didn`t know about this high fee`s. I knew there is fee`s, but this is ridiculous as OP say. Now crying over 10k fee for bitcoin transaction seems like a funny thing, I send some bitcoins abroad and fee for more then 150 dollars was around 1 dollar as I remember, and money is on their bank account after 1 hour max.
Now when you talk about it, paypal is service for sending money from one place to another, and for online payments. That is same what we can do with bitcoin, just fees are not so high, and instead of using online service for fiat we can use just bitcoins.
Ebay is a good thing, I would like to see some bitcoin ebay, where we can buy cheap things with nice discounts. That is what attract people, especially girls and womens.

Ebay and paypal both have ridiculous fees they take alot of money from your total money and that is really bad for business.
But anyways when selling items in bulk then it might be better to start your own webshop to avoid the fees of ebay completely.

PayPal have stated very recently that they will lower the fees significantly in the coming years as it will be a gradual process.

I don't think it's enough since it doesn't solve the fact that PayPal is still a company that is champion in freezing people's funds for weeks.

This annoyances will bring Bitcoin a lot new people since they get sick and tired from how PayPal is behaving.

[Oilacris]

Ebay and  paypal does have  huge ridiculous fee  in each transaction which would really affect if you have a  business online, same as  others  said. Thats why some  switch to bitcoin because  of  low  fee on  each transfer regarding  on  money transfers.

[AutumnAcacia]

It's really disgusting how much they charge for just selling on their damn site. It's 10% Ebay + 2.69  (?) I think for Paypal. This discourages me heavily when I try to sell on ebay because what's the point if I'm going to fork over 100+$ on a $1000 transaction. It makes me turn to craigslist 70% of the time. Ebay is only good if your loss is not higher than in initial purchase (ie. selling a ticket at an exorbitant price). Otherwise the site sucks balls, only reason we use it is because of how easy it is to get your stuff up there in the listings.
