I believe PayPal may be liable for a potential Class Action Lawsuit.  We are being charged a PayPal 2.9% fee for Sale Taxes eBay is collecting.  This is money we never received.  Yes, it is a small amount of money per transaction.  However, PayPay is processing how many thousands of transactions a day.  A few cents collected on every transaction can quickly amass a huge huge amount of additional revenue for PayPal.  In my opinion this is highly illegal.  In addition, PayPal is also charging a 2.9% fee on our shipping cost.  If I get a quote from USPS for $10.00 to ship something to a buyer and eBay charges the buyer $10.00 PayPal is collecting 2.9% on the $10.00 shipping cost.  In the end, it is costing me money out of my pocket to ship the item since PayPal took $0.29 off the $10.00 USPS will charge me.  Again, in my opinion this is highly illegal and unquestionably unethical.  Finally, it seems it is now impossible to speak with a human being at PayPay.  They used to have an 800 or 888 number you could call to speak with a human.  It appears they have eliminated or hidden any access to actually speak with a human.  Thanks PayPal for charging us 2.9% on Sales Taxes collected by eBay and thanks for taking money out of pocket for shipping costs we have to pay.  What are we supposed to do... Inflate our sell prices and shipping costs in hopes of offsetting PayPals fee?  Guess who would profit more if we we inflated our sell prices and shipping costs... PayPal!   ... View more
