[meteorite-list] Sellers, would you like to keep more of your money?

Good evening Folks,

In theory this method to "beat the system"  makes a lot of sense.

One caveat, however.  It is against PayPal  policy, as of June 3, and they 
threaten to sanction you if they catch  you.  You can presume that they will 
probably have some software  running that will flag accounts with a 
significant changeover from commercial  payments to personal ones.  

Here is their position on the  idea:
""Beginning June 3, 2009 PayPal user agreement is being amended as  follows:
1. Section 4.2 of the user agreement will read as follows:
“4.2  Receiving Payments for Commercial Transactions and Personal 
Transactions.
a. Fees depend on whether you are making a commercial transaction or a  
personal transaction. A commercial transaction involves buying and selling 
goods  or services, and payments received when you send a “request money” using 
PayPal.  A personal transaction involves sending money to and receiving 
money from  friends and family without making a purchase. 
b. If you are selling goods or  services, you may not ask the buyer to send 
you a personal payment for the  purchase. If you do so, PayPal may remove 
your ability to accept personal  payments.”"

Best regards,

Paul Martyn

I have tested this with a couple  payments I have made, all have worked 
without the fees.

This is more for  off ebay purchases with people that are reputable and you 
(or anyone else) has  bought from in the past. I know I will be offering a 
portion of what I will save  to the buyers who use this method. This way, 
Its not so one sided and will  benifit both parties. 
As with any transaction, make sure the person is  reliable with this method 
or the normal one, but for payments to guys like  Greg/Adam Hupe and others 
(just as examples)- who you know are honest and  reliable, this method 
would be good option to use and the seller may offer a  portion of the cost is 
price reduction like I am going to do. Sure it may just  come out to a few 
dollars here and there, but over time it adds  up.
