They can be as little as you want to make it.
Something like $1 cash discount if you pay by
Money Order or Check.
So if you're standard shipping fee is $5, charge
$6 in your description. Then, if they pay by
PayPal or Billpoint, the fee is covered. And if
they pay by check or money order, they pay $5
shipping, what you normally charge anyhow.
And it's not just eBay pushing Billpoint.
Passing on your surcharge for accepting credit
cards IS illegal. Adding $1 handling to your
shipping charge, building it into your opening
bid, or charging a cash discount is not.
BTW, PayDirect is excellent. I wish more people
would give it a chance. |
