I do sell on this forum....People send checks or use paypal....
I sell very cheap and if people need to pay with paypal I tell them that I will give them the exact amt and then add the EXACT paypal fees on to that. They are very minimal, but if they paid, and then paypal took out fees on me that would be cheaper merchandise and I end up loosing more. If I charge more for my items to make up for fees, then the paypal fees are higher. No Win situation.
I have no idea how that person marks the send money....ex. goods, etc. It never shows up on my side. I'm sure it is not listed as "GIFT" though. I would hope someone would not do that.
