I figured most people come directly to the classified section, so I'll attach a link here.

SMH thats a dick move man up and do the refund if you care about your reputation at all

 

Your PayPal option is only available because you didn't send it as a gift. Once you send money as a gift you are out of luck with any support from PayPal. I always send it as a payment even if I have to cover the minimal PayPal fees.... Good luck on our claim. My experience with PayPal leads me to believe they will support you in this claim.

 

yup that's why i paid the extra $2.40

 

good luck I think paypal will be of great assistance, maybe even ban him from using

 

Exactly !!!

 

IMO anyone selling items on here and asking to send paypal funds as a gift or pay the fees are in violation of the rules for selling here on the forum. I may be wrong on that but that's the way I understand what I read.

 

Ouch - glad you followed the rules and did not paypal as a gift. Hope they refund you quickly!

 

I don't think it was a rule, more so a warning and a statement that the forum is not responsible for anyone's ignorance.

 

Per PayPals rules, specifically rule 4.5 it states:

4.5 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.

If it is determined that you are violating this policy by demanding a fee for using PayPal your thread will be immediately pulled without warning.

IT says rule. with removal. I sure see alot of listings with pay pal fees
