As an occasional seller, I've always asked a buyer to use a check or MO for payment instead of paypal as I am not turned on by the fees and like cash in hand.
However, I deal with guys now and then that have apparent money problems, and if I don't use paypal just don't seem to pay at all or string things along for months on end. I guess as a last resort I am willing to accept it, but need to ask you guys what I should ask for as an extra to cover fees? For example: If I sell an item to someone for $100 and allow the guy to use paypal, how much more do I charge to cover the fees so I still end up with $100 in the end? 1%, 2%, 3%??
Thanks in advance from somebody that's Old School.
