Subject: illegal or notto charge a percentage over and above the final auction price if paying via paypal...I say illegal via ebay's rules...take a look at item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2277771598here's ebay's ruleebay rules statesPayment surcharges
Sellers may not charge eBay buyers an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment, including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic transfers or credit cards. Such costs should be built into the price of the item. This policy reduces the potential for confusion among bidders about the true cost of an item. Further, some forms of payment surcharges, such as credit card surcharges, are forbidden under the laws of many states, including California.his responseIt's not written in any disclosed statements on policies set by paypal. There is always the option of paying by other means and avoid the extra fee. I have always charged an extra fee when paypal has been used to to pay me. I attend many auctions across the country and am well used to paying anywhere from 10 to 20 percent for a buyers premium to auction houses. What do you think of ebay charging the fees they charge. They are premiums. Right? What gives ebay/paypal the right to charge me a fee and then say I have no right to charge one too? This I believe is an oxymoron. Anyway, the choice to pay isn't limited and the only pay I wont except is COD and ESCROW. Thank you for your concern.further more 10 percent....just who does he think he is Sotheby's
