You do you. Ill do me. Ive been doing this a long time. If your not interested in buying then dont comment. I am charged the fee but if buyer wants G&S over my other payment options then they add 3% to cover fees.Buyers do NOT pay fees for G&S, it’s against PAYPAL’s Terms of Service.
If a seller uses G&S, then the SELLER pays the fees.
Its against their rules to sell knives also bit we do it. 99% of the time they get shut down from people putting notes in paypal when purchasing a knife. Then they investigate and see that it was a transaction for a knife and gets shut down. I buy and sell alot in Facebook groups. Been doing it a long time. If you keep people from putting notes in when sending payment then you have no issues.I know someone who got their PayPal shut down over charging a fee on top of selling price, it just takes ONE complaint, and your PayPal gets shut down.
So how about you just not be greedy/stupid and follow the rules?
It's against BF Rule #2.1 as well so tread carefully.
Fyi. Not greedy or stupid. I offer other payment options. If someone insists on G&S then they cover the fee. I prefer not to use PayPal due to the issue with them against selling knivesI know someone who got their PayPal shut down over charging a fee on top of selling price, it just takes ONE complaint, and your PayPal gets shut down.

Ok. ThanksSo here's the deal
BF does not approve of folks buying stuff using F&F. But we don't prohibit it.
BF is not the PayPal police. If you want to allow people to buy stuff using F&F, that's between you, the buyer, and PP.
Howsoever, if you are going to allow either F&F or G&S, then we do require that you post both full prices.
There's a good explanation here:
