The listing, Paper Embosser has ended.
Shipping break down fees I have to pay $1-envelope $1.23-shipping (roughly) $2-PayPal transaction fee I SHIP FIRST CLASS!!! This item is never used/open! Happy bidding
The paypal fee isn't $2. After fees it will be $2.60. Here's a link to better prepare you for paypal fees http://thefeecalculator.com/result.php?amount=2.23&i=want&submit.x=69&submit.y=20&submit=submit
Ok then why have my last 4 transactions with PayPal cost me $2 each? I have lost over $30 in shipping and fees and all I'm asking is for enough to cover everything I am going to have to pay for. I'm not trying to make a profit I'm trying to get rid of stuff but not at a huge cost to me.
PayPal charges $0.30 per transaction and 3%. So for $10 it's only $0.60 so there's absolutely no way you are paying $2 for PayPal fees. I know how it works I have an etsy shop and have dealt with hundreds of transactions.
Then how do I get the money back they have taken? It's always been $2 short of what people say they put in. I'm not looking to screw people over. Obviously that's not my goal or I wouldn't have already lost over $30 sending items to people on here. Someone just put in $3 for shipping on a loom and when I went to put it in my account it said I only had $1.60. I get the email from PayPal saying they put in $4 who it was and why. Then I got to my Paypal to transfer and it says my Paypal balance is $1.60. Why is that? I have no reason to lie about this. I'm not a conniving person. I don't charge for gas. I don't try to get any money for my benefit. I just want it to be fair.
Actually, you can find every size envelope you need at the dollar store. Good quality ones too with bubble wrap inside and waterproof. You can even get some in two packs, so yes if you are claiming the packaging costs more than a dollar I think that's wrong.
So if you go to the dollar store you know that the 9inch envelopes are 2 for 2.50?? That's what quite a bit of my stuff has been shipped in and this as well. What is your problem? I'm not breaking things down to the cent but if that's what your looking for them I guess I have to charge more! What are you not getting about the fact that PayPal has been taking $2 every transaction? I don't use PayPal except for this now and I'm still under restriction because I'm new to the site of PayPal. I will be sure to email them right away and tell them that you are a professional Paypal user and them taking $2 for every transaction is not going by your rules. I may have a standing at getting it back but I doubt it. I should not have to keep replying to this crap when I know what I pay! I'm not going to hide your comments or mine because I've got nothing to hide.
I've auctioned 15 different items not including the 3 open and I didn't get paid for shipping on some of the items but shipped them anyway because I didn't want bad reviews. I'm not sure what your malfunction is here but seems to me you quench your thirst for life on starting unnecessary drama. PAYPAL HAS TAKEN $2 FOR EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION I'VE HAD DONE ON THERE!!! DON'T LIKE IT COMPLAIN TO THEM!
You must have an awesome dollar store as well because the one we have does NOT have single bubble envelopes or a waterproof ones! They are ALL IN TWO PACK RANGING FROM 1.50 and up. Most of my item can't be shipped in the smallest bubble mailer, this item for example will need an 8 inch because there is no mid size between the really small one. I will have to pay over $2 to get a two pack making them over $1 each just to be able to mail this. Goodbye!
Everything at the Dollar Store is $1. You are just getting pissy because you are being caught in lies. The first comments were only to educate you and the buyers that could be getting scammed by you. There was no drama being started until you started with your rants and refused to accept an information.
Whatever. Let the person pay $4 for shipping when the envelope costs 50 cents the paypal transaction costs less than 40 cents and the shipping itself will be less than 2 bucks.
First of all... What dollar general store do you go to that everything is $1? I don't go to the dollar tree because 35 minutes away. The only dollar store I have locally is dollar general not everything is $1. Thanks. Second I cannot believe for the life of me you would even try to say I'm scamming people. Ask the lady who won my corn bag auction, ask the one who won my cell phone auction. Ask any of them how much of a scam I am. 15 auctions successful not one problem! First you said Paypal was 30 cents now its 40 cents. It's not my fault PayPal takes $2 of the money! I'm biting the bullet on the extra that will be charged after the $4 all I'm asking is it to be fair to me! No profit at all! I'm not looking for a profit! If I were I sure as heck would not be asking for $4 to cover everything, the number would be bigger but it's not! It's people like you that make people not want to use this site! I get that some people are nothing but a scam on here but you usually can tell by there short comments because they don't care who they scam! I however don't appreciate some random person coming on my auction running my name in the dirt accusing me of being a scammer. Especially over a $2 fee PayPal takes everytime I use it that's out of my control! I will defend myself to the fullest! If you don't like my auction, move on. It's that simple! Some will choose to follow your nonsense and that's on them. Others will see how rediculous your being over and envelope I paid 2.50 for 2 envelopes or a fee I have no control over. Goodbye!
I've emailed PayPal and will open a dispute if I have to. YOU miss don't know me at all, if you did, scammer and liar aren't even the last things people think to label me with! My husband could lose his job any day because of the factory going under. I'm so sorry that I can't afford to continue to pay 100% out of pocket to package and ship items FREE of charge to the winner. I'm sorry for your own sanity you don't believe that PayPal could screw people, I'm not the first and won't be the last. Shipping alone for all 15 previous auctions have been $14 and some change first round, $18 and change second round, not including the cost of envelopes at dollar GENERAL not dollar tree! I'm sorry your need to be greedy has blurred your vision so much to take this auction on a free site to this level. I've kept the same back ground in all photos in each listing, NOT THE SAME BACKGROUND FOR ALL LISTINGS, don't get it twisted. I intentionally show my nail polish in each picture if I can angle it right. I don't deceive people despite what you may believe. I've done everything I can to prove I'm not a fraud and sure enough, there still comes one to try and start crap. Then again I shouldn't be that surprised after finding out people on this site are trash talking a woman who just lost her child. Way to be!
Thank you :) I really appreciate that. Sure I could of just wrote it off but I won't be called a liar and seems to me if there is a dispute on your auction if you don't defend it people will knock you down as far as they can. I get they are Leary because of scammers, I for one am not one. Thank you again for your kind words :)
Can I snail mail you the shipping costs- don't do Paypal yet. I've been reading over some of the things that were said to you & all I can say is WOW. Some of these :adults" should be completely ashamed of themselves! Would they allow themselves to be spoke to in such a manner? If they do not like the way you conduct YOUR auctions then perhaps they should go someplace else-and the last time I checked you could go buy your supplies where ever you chose to shop too! You do not have to justify yourself to anybody as far as I'm concerned. You were much nicer than I would have been! Angry,nasty people need to take it somewhere else&work thru their issues. Sure hope hubbys job works out for you-I also live in central Indiana in a very slim job market. My hubbo had to change jobs-for less$ of course! Just so you know-I'm on your side! Peace...
Thank you :) I've been very flexible with shipping cost arrangements. I've lost quite a bit but its not then end of the world to me :) what's snail mail? I personally don't recommend using Paypal honestly. I'm trying to find another system that works better. I was told by them each individual is different depending on restrictions. There was a time where I logged onto my bank account and saw they had taken $2. I didn't authorize it. It was before I even signed up on this site and I had done no buying or selling on anything! And it's been that amount every transaction I've used with this site. I'm going to see if there is a way to get a prepaid debit and have a way to load money that way without PayPal. I'm removing my account from them ASAP. Thank you for your kind words and I too hope your husband is able to find steady work, it is very difficult to do here :/
Figuring my Pay Pal transactions, the cost per each is .40 cents, If Pay Pal charged $2.00 per each transaction no one would belong to it, including me. I can get an entire box of long envelopes for $1.00-1.50 and the bubble wrap mailers are $1.00 for 2, large and smaller. I think people are objecting to your breakdown of costs which you should never do. If they do not want to pay the price for shipping-tell them not to bid on your stuff! Some people are always going to complain or want everything for free, well tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry! Don't apologize for your shipping costs as long as they are within the normal range of USPS charges! Mo
Could you tell me where you get your envelopes? I don't buy planning to ship mass quantities. So I go to the store and buy as needed and apparently am losing more than I even imagined. And I'm in the process with PayPal. Thank you for being respectful.
I live in Louisiana and I go to The Dollar General Store for bubble wrap envelopes-I get the larger-book size and the smaller, but not the smallest and they are a 2 pack for $1.00, not to exceed $1.25. We also have a Dollar Tree store where all in it is only one dollar period! They also have paper supplies and envelopes but the Dollar General is in my immediate area. Don't ever buy envelopes from the post office-ripoff for price! Pay Pal costs me usually .40 cents for under $4.00 transactions but think this goes up the higher the dollar value, like maybe a $5 or 6 dollar transaction would cost .60 cents-go to their site and read and really, you would be better off paying that small fee as Pay Pal is a safe way to do business. I am truly sorry for all of the rude people trying to get the best of you. I do perceive you as a sweet and innocent person just trying to find herself around all this. I am a Listia newbie and people need to be less stupid and scathing in their remarks and just roll with the flow and as I said earlier-if you don't want to pay the price for shipping, DON'T BID darn it! Shipping has become quite expensive now and I only ship free when it fits into a .45 envelope-like a recipe! Keep your head up and ignore what's going on and quit replying to defend yourself-you don't have to!
