paypal collecting a fee on tax money

[bandaid12]

How can paypal be justified in collecting a fee on the sales tax that is collected by ebay when I sell an item on ebay? 

  How and when will there be a class action suit?

How can we hold paypal accountable?  This just isn't right. I feel cheated by paypal and ebay. What a scam they have going.

PayPal's fees are based on gross amount received tax, shipping, handling, etc included. They do not parse out portions to not charge fees on. Regular credit card processing merchant accounts never did that either. Fin-tech payment processors are no different. The gov has found out ways to tax the internet so we got to make allowance for the expense. The perks are over. The real world is encroaching on the web. As Glenn Fry would sing, "Get over it, get over it."

Charge a lil extra to cover the expense.
