I know it was silly of me, but I didn't realize there were any fees until now. I sold two items on ebay - and THEY charged a small fee, then Paypal received the money the customers sent me, and kept it until I asked for it to be transferred to my bank acct, which hasn't happened yet, but they say it has. And now I notice that the customers paid $382.61 & $159.95, but the amounts that HAVEN'T been put in my bank acct (that they say HAVE BEEN) are $371.21 & $155.01, I thought at first maybe it had to do with the shipping cost that hadn't been added in yet, or something - but now I'm guessing it's paypal's fee? If so, that's crazy, because they already are keeping everyone's money for at least a week, and earning all that interest - any other fees should be limited to no more than $5.00 in my opinion. You know it doesn't cost them THAT much to transfer money around. Hopefully another service will become available, or maybe it already is, that will compete with Paypal so that they won't have the monopoly on us!
