Hello everyone.
I just had a quick question.
In the auctions I list on eBay, I state that my customers can pay with PayPal but that there is a minimum payment of $4.99 when using this type of payment option.
Some of my listings start out at/below $4.99 while others start out at/over $4.99
My question. Is it against eBay's rules to state that there is a minimum when using PayPal?

one way to reduce the paypal fee is to get a paypal debit card and start spending,it will give you a rebate.
i spent 63 dollars at office depot and get 93 cents back,someone i know gets 97 cents interest from her paypal balance of 700 dollars.go figure,

stopwhining: I have been preaching this for a year. I buy supplies, gas, etc on my debit card. Get a 1% rebate plus interest on my balance. Cuts my cost to pratically nothing

expo/home depot refunded 100 dollars to my paypal card and somehow never land in my account??so it is too late by the time i find out it is not home depot fault??so debit card does not work as well as the credit card.

I sell postcards, maps, books, and similar stuff. To deal with Paypal charges on lower-priced items such as postcards, I put this in my TOS: "We cannot afford to accept Paypal or other electronic payments for postcards." I haven't received any complaints. No, I don't know how many sales I have lost, but I'm doing OK. For items with a listing price of $10 or more, I state "Paypal accepted". I tend to base my listing prices based on what others are asking for similar items.

Sanmar: to use the debit card you have to
keep a fairly large balance in your PayPal
account, correct? You REALLY trust PayPal
that much? I sure don't. I'll keep paying
the extra little bit in exchange for the
peace of mind that they can't access more
than $20.00 of MY money at any one time.
