Jimmy, was wondering what you do for the fees for pay pal, do you pay for the paypal fees, or does the buyer.

Reason I ask this is because we used paypal for barnesville for a seed that we sold, and wasnt aware of the fee, we payed approx $8.50 fee on $215.00 transaction.

I was wondering what the best way to do this is for clubs that have auctions , should we just pay the fee ,or does the buyer pay for this? whats the poper way to do this?

Brooks this being our first year having the club and the auction there was no question in our mind that we will pay the fees for PayPal. We want all of our members and growers with maximum satisfaction from their experience.

Here is a link to the paypal rules...

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside

and a link to a paypal fee calculator

http://www.rolbe.com/paypal.htm

They charge 2.9% for receiving money for goods...

If you do a personal transfer from a bank account there is no fee...this was news to me....I am set up on a bank account and will use this option in the future....

Also what I did not know was the rate...I have been adding $2.00 on my payments, this is obviously not enough for some purchases,as the rate is 2.9% = 0.30 cents. Now knowing that a personal transfer is free from a bank account....paypal will no longer be getting the extra money the clubs have been losing out on...

Hope this helps...

Sorry...that's 2.9% plus 0.30 cents per transaction if from a credit or debit card on your paypal account... best thing to do is set up a bank account attached to your paypal account!!
