Hey, when you use a service you pay them their percentage. If you sell something really expensive, it costs more. That sounds like a lot of $$, but the rules are there for everyone to see.

$113? How much did that bass sell for?? Must have been a NICE one!

And.....OF COURSE the fees are there for Paypal to make money. They are not a charitable organization.

Have you ever sold anything through paypal? The fees are only active if you're receiving the money. If you pay for something then there isn't a fee.

Paypal fees still exist....and always will. Until someone comes up with a efficient competitor, they'll keep going up too........
