Sorry, I put the emphasis on NET when I meant to put it on both NET & SHIPPED in conjunction.
As I understand the term, NET is what you put in your pocket after all cost of doing business (fees, packaging, shipping etc) is accounted for.
It doesn't make sense to me when shipping is included in a net price or when people use it to mean they want the just PayPal fees added.
Since you all can't seem to get my name off your tongue let me simply lie it out for you all. I sell on the forums for fun. I collect coins, knives, guns and a few other things. Sometimes when I want something new I sell something I already own so I don't have to produce new money. I sell a lot of silver and gold because it's an easy sell and moves quick. I don't own a business nor do these sales pay my bills, they provide extra cash for more toys. If they don't sell oh well I can still buy what I wanted anyways. I list the items how I want and sell to whom I want and how I want to do so. If nobody wants to buy the stuff fine, it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things. If someone doesn't like how I sell then don't buy. If you don't like my attitude then don't buy. I'm not gonna change. I do business as I see fit. I sell at a fair price and always ship fast and have good communication. That's all a buyer can ask for hence my 100% feedback. Anyways, that's that.

Just a heads up, your "right as an American" doesn't negate the user agreement that you acknowledged when you opened your PayPal account that states not to ask buyers for PayPal fees. PayPal has frozen accounts in the past for transgressions like that, as well as improper use of F&F transactions.

There is the backtracking.
So which is it, you pay your mortgage by selling here or is it just for fun?
With the amount of transactions you have in the time you've been here, I think it's self explanatory.
Buy the proper membership, but I know you won't . You already proven you like to skirt the rules.
How is that backtracking? I said if people don't buy stuff I will still pay my mortgage and eat steak? And that I sell for fun? That makes no sense. If you were normal maybe you would see that as my sales on here aren't a business for me and don't pay my bills. Hence if nobody buys the items I list I will still be able to pay my mortgage by other income.
This really covers it. Could not agree more.
I'm preaching to the choir here. You guys have covered every pertinent point clearly.
PayPal fees, shipping fees, even credit card fees are all 'The cost of doing business'. Any sales transaction is business, whether you personally are a hobbyist or not.
Those ardent members who must pound their chest and create a price, then declare 'net to me' are missing the opportunity to WOW someone with a one-stop great deal: One Price - To Your Door! :thumbup:
That's good business and good community. I don't look at that price and say "Hey, it should be $15 cheaper", (but I'll pay all the costs.... )
Buyers are impulsive. 90% of the knives sold are unnecessary purchases. Give them ANY stumbling block and you lose an opportunity.
I don't buy much, but when I sell, I give one price. If you are nickling and diming to the point where ten bucks gain or lost is impactful, you are doing it wrong.
Hobbies are supposed to be fun with community, and business is supposed to be honest with building clients satisfaction.
'Net to Me' forfeits both.
Coop
You don't really even understood what you said did you?
Welp, if you don't pay your mortgage by selling you foolishly made everyone think you do. So to recap, you are treating the exchange like a place of business which is against the rules (calling buyers customers is a tell
). You have either backtracked or lied about your previous statement. You have been rude, indignant, and vulgar. You have lied about being done with this thread at least twice. You think it is fine to screw paypal out of the money you agreed to pay them for using their service. You think it is fine to screw your customers by offering them no recourse if a transaction go poorly in using F&F. This is the type of member you have showed us all that you are. Thanks again for that :thumbup:If twisting what I said makes you feel better and popular then so be it. I don't need a forum to make me feel better. I can stand by my 100% feedback on this site and all others I am a member of as proof that I do things the right way and don't rip anyone off nor do I need to. You go ahead and play your word games and whatever else you want to do so you feel like a real champ here but just remember, it's still only the internet

Ok then.
I was only curious as I've seen countless reasons given why people accept Goods payments and not once has someone shared the reasons why they accept Gift.
Oh well, I guess the super secret benefits of accepting Gift payments shall remain unknown.
Carry on.
