T206 auction

[Archive]

Posted By: vetekbob

I just won an auction for a 206 card and I missed the little addition that the seller cleaverly added near the paypal logo saying pay 2 bux extra to the total and pay with paypal. It is my understanding that doing such is against ebay and paypal rules. Am I wrong on this? Needless to say the after auction invoice said the same and I didnt pay the extra 2 bux in paying the total due. Very sneaky to me and needless to say I wont be doing business with this seller again.

If he insists on charging you the 2 bucks I would not pay it and report it to Ebay. Does he sell a lot of vintage cards and if so let us know so we can avoid him.

I'd be interested in knowing who the seller is as well - and I agree - very sneaky. As for whether it violates ebay rules, dont know.

the seller does sell a lot of vintage and infact has a fair amount of 206 up. The sellers name is member65411

Maybe im wrong but on the two auctions of his I looked at they said "feel free to pay $1.50"...doesn't this mean you don't really have to if you don't want to ?

Hi Guys,
It's actually against the law to charge customers for any fees associated with credit purchases. If you choose to accept credit cards you can't charge those customers an extra 2-3%, but you can get away with cash discounts. Be well Brian

No kidding, that's a federal law?

I have been charged extra all the time for using credit cards in the past in stores not on EBAY, there is no way it is illegal.

We have had a discussion on this in the past - its not a violation of any law, its a violation of the merchants agreement with the various credit card companies.

I get people all the time at my business trying to pay with credit card for small amounts.

It costs me over $2 to process a credit card transaction.

I tell them any order under $50 I charge $3 for credit cards.

I know it's a violation of my agreement, but don't care. If they want to report me, let them, I'll quite taking the card.
