i just had almost $5 taken out for a $170 item i sold on ebay...then ther is the ebay fee on top..

Paypal limited my account. I have been using it for more than a year. When I called their support, they won't even disclose the reason why.

Those paypal guys are horrible, i sold 6 apple iphones with insurance to some lady in newyork, the phones value were close to 5000$, the lady said she only recieved 3 phones, i supplied paypal with all documents proven that i have shipped the 6 phones, like receipts from apple, shipping number, tracking number, value of insurance bought, i even showed them the total weight of the package which was close to 6lbs, i asked them to ask the lady about the package weight, in which she replied saying that it was 3 lb, and official document said 6 lbs, and yet the decided in her favor making me lose 2475$, on top of that, ebay wont take that into consideration, that i am in debt of 2475, and i made no profit, they are still charging me 141$ for 6 phone, i told them paypal and all that, and yet they suspended my account.

so i decided to steer away, and just open my own market place, it is nothing like ebay, but at least its for free. you guys are welcome to check it out Silly Dollar

Silly Dollar

the site is free, and actually has all the functionalitites of ebay. hopefully with time and with some support, i will be able to make something out of it.

in terms of paypal, i still dont know what alternatives should we use.

Well great posts really. But what about the Merchant Inc

May want to steer clear!

Um, that depends on your volume and type of account paypal cocksucker. My premier account I was charged 2.9% +.30.

That is what I went with and I could not be happier. Easy set up and the money goes right in to MY checking account

What if you are not a high volume seller? I sell things only when I need money? Is there an alternative I could use when that time arises that doesnt cost me a monthly fee?
