Re: [Chevelle-list] OT - Car Sale Question

Shawn,   Maybe you are a PayPal merchant, but PayPal does not charge a fee for receiving payments to a personal account.  You can't accept credit cards, but for a single car purchase, that should not be an issue.   Larry should look at the seller protection (https://www.paypal.com/eBay/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/protections-outside).  They say they give you $5000 if you follow their seller protection policy.   As for 4% to 7% fees, maybe on a $10 transaction for a merchant account.  Their highest fee is 2.9% + 30 cents, which would be 59 cents of a $10 purchase, or 5.9%.  On a $500 transaction fees would be no more than $14.80, or 2.96%.   Maybe you are thinking of the eBay fees, which are higher?   Brad Waller From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Price Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 7:56 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] OT - Car Sale Question Larry, One thing about PayPal, is that they take somewhere between 4 and 7 percent of the incoming payment as a 'handling' fee. That can be real money when selling a car, and in my opinion makes the wire transfer a much safer bet.

An eBay member contacted me saying he is from Norway, and would like to bid on the car. He has 40+ positive feedbacks and no negatives, and is willing to pay for the car through Paypal in full, and will hire a car transport company to pick up the vehicle once I'm satisfied with the payment. I've heard of some scams involving buyers from overseas. What's your thoughts? Thanks, Larry Shouse
