New PayPal policy - Seller absorbs refund fees. Starts October, 2019.

New PayPal policy starts October 2019.

Right now, If your buyer returns an item, PayPal has always returned their fee to the seller.

With the new policy, the seller will have to refund the PayPal commission to the buyer.

Not so bad if you sell cheap items, but if you sell expensive goods, this will hurt.

i.e. You sell an item on eBay for $1000. PayPal charges about $90 commission. The buyer returns the item. PayPal will keep the $90, and you have to send the buyer the full value of the sale, plus $90. An obvious money-grab by PayPal.

What other ways can eBay sellers get paid besides PayPal?

Your a bit late posting that, many threads on the same topic.

However a lot of other payment processors do the same thing as regards refunding fees.

Any other ways to collect on eBay sales, without paying refund fees?

 

Have usedPayPal for 20 years with no problems. Do not like this new "money-grab"
