<p>[QUOTE=&quot;boxerchip, post: 722563, member: 19303&quot;]To me ebay has always charged fees over the top but after they got a hold of paypal it seems to have become worse.&nbsp; Now they just started to impose holds on everything and require powersellers to keep a 15% (of all transactions over the last 6 months) ballance in their account.&nbsp; In my mind this is taking it a step wayyyy to far.&nbsp; The only reason that the fees made any sense to me is because of the assumed risk that pay pal took.... I sell an 08 buffalo, jimmy bob pays me and I never ship it and take the money out of the paypal account and run.&nbsp; That fee was to cover that risk! now paypal is holding the money till jimmy bob gets his coin soooo what is the risk for them?&nbsp; not to mention they are having a field day investing that money in the short term and making money off my money for a week or two before I get positive feedback and the money clears.&nbsp; This is a fraud and a scam and they can only get away with it because people are now so used to paypal they wont use anything else. Basically they have gone from a buyer and seller protection service to an escrow service.... yet most escrow services charge less than 1% and paypal charges over 3%!!!!!&nbsp; Anyone else feeling this way or am I alone on this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
