my complaint is ,

 when i sold that $ 20.00 note , for $ 22.05 my profit was only $2.05  and not $ 22.05 , that note is allready mine
 but i have to pay fees on the whole amount ,of $22.05  not just the profit. of $ 2.05...

If I don't know who I am buying off I will ALWAYS use paypal.
It is easier and far more secure as far as a buyer is concerned.
Whenever I buy off people I know I can trust then I will use direct deposit whenever I can.
As a buyer paypal is a better option as it gives you the "Buyer Protection" Direct deposit doesn't :ok:

Yes Trout and that is exactly why "the buyer should pay the fees".
Paypal forcing someone else to pay for something that you want is wrong.

That my friend is a great idea but as all really good ideas go the big corporations won't buy it.
If the buyers had to pay the fee then there would be less buyers and paypal would loose money.
What needs to be done is to lower the fees to a reasonable amount.
I am absolutely certain if my Bank charged the same as paypal on my pay check Deposit I would look for another bank :good:

Except (continuing your pay cheque analogy) your employer is forcing you to use a particular bank (which they own) with high fees.

If that was the case I would be telling my boss In No uncertain terms to shove his job where the Sun doesn't shine :diablo::ok:

The bottom line is this.   I collect coins.   I occasionally sell coins.   I am sell because I have too many coins and I wish to reclaim my outlays with some profit.   That profit is mine and it doesn't belong to the intermediaries.   yes, EBay and Paypal assist me in selling the coins or whatever but I do believe they are taking too much out of each sale.

Give us another way so that the profit stays with the seller.

I am seriously thinking about setting up something as an alternative to ebay for collectors.
The mailn question is "Would it get enough users (buyers and sellers) to be viable?".

And that's always the issue, isn't it? There have been plenty of alternatives over the years, but none has reached critical mass, so ebay/paypal continues to rule the roost.
