Ebay seller question.

[Bill Pritchard]

eBay is slowly but surely moving away from a place where the average Joe can sell an item or two occasionally, to a place that's more business-oriented. Probably won't be long before you have to wait 30 to 60 days to get your money for things you choose to sell on there, like businesses that take credit cards. And, I can't believe that PayPal is still allowing this fee-free "Friends & Family" money transfer business....wonder when that's going to screech to a halt?

I am located in Canada and buy lots of parts from the USA. Paypal will not allow me to have a USD Paypal account despite me having a USD bank account in Canada. Paypal wants to make huge conversion fees if I move money in or out of the Paypal account. Bothers me to the point that I'd rather buy a part some other way.

For Friends and Family they charge the sender the fee !

It looks like they may have raised their fees, so it's probably not the money saver Ebay would like you to think. Should we have expected anything less?

I've purchased several things (mostly from this site) using the PP F&F feature and have never been charged a fee.
