Buying and trading on the open robot market! Optimus Prime might call this slavery, but he's never had to track down Energon Ultra Magnus before.

And plus a point for Prowl for prompt payment for the package I purveyed. One good alliteration deserves another.

And JT especially earns a +1 for paying quickly for Topspin, and even throwing in a little extra moneys for Paypal fees, which is something I didn't even think about. Good man, JT.

Paypal doesn't charge fees if you mark as a gift. Just FYI!

Since when did Paypal start charging fees at all? I hadn't noticed.

Before I forget (more), +1 to annhell for hooking me up with that SH Figuarts Momotaros. Good man to have around.

Paypal charges fees if you are purchasing goods or services.

When you buy something off eBay, for example, let's say it's $15 and $5 shipping, so $20. Paypal takes a cut of that, because you're using the service for business shit and this is how they make money. Standard transaction fee is 2.9% + $0.30 USD. In other words, 30 cents, plus 2.9% of whatever you're sending. You send the seller $20, but Paypal takes out 58 cents (2.9%) and an additional 30 cents, so 88 cents. Not a big deal, less than a dollar, but think about how many eBay purchases are made in a day--and how many are, potentially, over $20.

For my IndieGoGo campaign I actually got doubly fucked. IndieGoGo takes 9% of every transaction to start with as a fee for using the service. If the campaign actually succeeds, they refund 4% back, so they take 5% in the end. (I didn't succeed, in the strictest sense, so I didn't get that 4% back.) The way it works is, you donated $25. Paypal takes 73 cents plus 30 cents for fees; that's $1.03 off the top. So I get $23.97. Then IndieGoGo takes their 9% out of my account, but it's not 9% of $23.97, it's of $25. So I pay IndieGoGo $2.25...and then Paypal takes the fee from my account on that, too, which is a measley 6 cents, but still. Six cents. Plus the thirty! So after all the fees and shit, I saw $21.36. Paypal and its fees can fuck you bad.
