Why do some Sellers insist on Friends And Family PayPal Payment Mode ?

[fngTony]

@Steve300xcw actully that one member was involved in several condition discrepancies and a few other concerns so they aren’t around anymore. Initially both sides are a bit tense but typically they both come to a reasonable solution. It is a time suck though.

Protection or taxes that’s it.
Protect you from crooks or government crooks!

Glad I started the thread because I have read some very interesting replies and it appears some are getting somewhat educated in how PayPal operates.
I have had occasions where I had to get PayPal involved in less than honorable transactions which always resulted in a favorable judgements on my behalf, something which would never have happened with a Family and Friends transaction.

As for me I will voice my opinion just like some of the others.
If a person uses Goods and Services when selling an item just to avoid the fees or to shield themselves from the tax guy you are being dishonest, meaning if you screw them you would probably screw me too.
I will pay what you feel you have to have but include the fees, it's the right and only way I will do business with you

Ah yes, the money that’s been unconstitutionally taxed when my employer gives it to me (payroll), taxed when I receive it (income), taxed when I spent it on the gear the first time (sales), then taxed when I resale it for a loss (Payal G&S)…the IRS guy who’s drawing a paycheck from all my other taxes will be just fine…and if the Feds can’t fund a couple more wasteful useless programs that are outside their constitutional purview as a result of my missing G&S sales, it’ll be a win for everyone.

I cant be the only one thats still paying with a check or money order?

Im definitely on the boomer train. But I will not send a personal check to an individual on the internet. It has my banks routing number, my account number, full legal name. No way

I’m already paying 49 god damn percent.
How much more should I pay.
And that’s out of my paycheck. That doesn’t include all that taxes after.

So they can use it on gender affirmation education and war.

Get real

 

[CorbLand]

Well guys I think we found the one IRS agent in our ranks.

 

[BRTreedogs]

I also loved when after a video call and what I assumed was f&f agreement I got g&s and ate another $49 off my bino sale.

I should of refunded, but I’m a nice guy.

I look at a guy's presence and post count. Most scammers and dicks don't make it long here without being called out.
You buy from me I'll send it out as soon as possible.
I try my hardest to describe accurately. Plus, most the stuff I sell is brand new.
I work the fee and shipping into the cost as well.
And I am open to phone calls, whatever the buyer wants to do.

And I agree, the feedback needs to be used more. I've found myself asking for feedback.

I wish there was a way to leave feedback on mobile. It’d get used a lot more

Buying and selling is two people agreeing on terms for the exchange. If one party doesn’t like the terms, they can negotiate or move on. Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to buy or sell your item.

It's a guarantee that Captain Obvious will show up in threads like this.

OP turned in neighbors for violating COVID lockdown

 

[Laelkhunter]

I don't think this is entirely accurate. If you do tie your SS to the account you can avoid the tax witholding. The 24% is only for accounts that haven't been tied to a SS.

Thanks for clearing that up. When I first read that it costs 22% or 24%, that's crazy. I guess PP does that for sellers trying to avoid paying taxes to the Government. Does that mean PP sends the extra $$ to US Treasury?

 

[dreadi]

How about not using PayPal for anything since they actively support gun control?

 

[DonC1]

Thanks all for your input, appreciate it.
My wages were paid by US taxpayers and I paid my share of taxes on that money just the same as everyone else and continue to do so.
Some do it willingly and some begrudgingly, it’s the world we live in and everyone is entitled to make their own decisions and be comfortable with them.

I walk in my own shoes and they are a very comfortable fit for me.
You do you and I’ll do me, it’s what makes the US what it is today, for better or worse.
