Does it avoid the fees though? I always thought in that case the payer had to absorb the fees. Why not just add the % on to your sale?
I always request PayPal F&F when selling stuff to avoid the fees. Which is presumably why many others do the same. It doesn’t mean I/they are scamming. I didn’t realise though this negated the buyer’s right to dispute so I will rethink this maybe. I usually though sell to well established members of this forum so fairly trusting about transactions.
Yeh, I have no problem sending F&F to people I trust (and will often do so without being asked, in order to save the seller some money). But if there's the slightest bit of doubt then it's regular transfer only. PayPal's gotten more than enough out of me over the years, especially with their dodgy exchange-rate calculations, so I don't sweat clawing a little back from them when there's no risk.
