There you are looking at that rare part you had to have, but dosen't seem to fit any of your creations. You decide someone else probably could use it, and with the cost to sustain life ever rising, you decide to sell it. You list it ,and someone emails you that they want it. You have a price set and the person agrees to put the money in your PayPal account. Then you look at your balance ,and discover that there is less money in there than you agreed to. Guess what, PayPal charges 4.9% + $.30 for handleing your transaction. Its the price of doing business online. Its pretty much the same everywhere. If you grab up your pennie jar and head to one of thoes machines that counts it , and gives you dollar bills , you will pay a portion of your saved coins for their service. Cash your check at a check cashing place and they charge a percentage. Now your options are ,to have someone mail you a check or a money order, which takes several days to clear , or eat the charge on PayPal to have money really quick via hyperspace . Just understand there ain't no free lunch. Maybe this will clear up some confusion on how PayPal works, if there was any.
