Paypal handling fee

[14klippi]

While checking on a listing the seller states in her auction that bank deposit preferred but if paying by Paypal a handling fee of $15.00 would be charged to pay for time to access account and transfer monies to her bank account.

Is this allowed????

joz*garage, if you wish to read it that way, ok.

For OP purposes, the whole of PJ's post needs to be read as it states;

If it is for a pick up only item the seller may have done this to put buyers off choosing Paypal which is completely unsafe for both buyer and seller. I would be inclined to just leave it if that is the case although there are much better ways of making certain they only use cash on pick up.

This means, choosing Paypal to pay for a pick up item, is not wise, it is always better to pay CASH after inspecting an item. Cash is also a better option for the seller.

nah i read as; putting off buyers using pp is unsafe for a pick up item.

I disagree

For pick up items PP is unsafe.    If somebody pays with PP and then goes to pick pick up and finds out it is SNAD they cannot try to do PP claim as there is not PP protection.  For seller it is unsafe because if somebody pays with PP from their CC, and 6 months later do CC chargeback the seller has no proof of posting, so they will lose.

And that is what PJ written, if only read the whole post.
