    I use my PayPal card for everything - even when I'm shopping online and have the option to pay via PayPal I elect to use my "card" anyway. I've earned quite a bit on PayPal cash back program doing this! Good lens!

    I read this lens and got some valuable information about paypal.But I am looking a solution of my problem regarding paypal.I am facing this problem:

    The following error comes from paypal in case of subscription but not in case of one time payment.

    "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."

    I hope you ll suggest me a solution regarding this problem.
    Thanks!

    Charging two fees under the guises of two companies is very surreptitious of ebay. It is exorbitant and gouges users. The entire fee should be consolidated so users can understand they are paying ebay's listing fee and final value fee, and Paypal's transaction fees. In other words you pay 8.75% of final sale value on ebay (or $25, whichever is less), ebay's listing fee (usually another $.25), and Paypal's 2.9% and $.30. Four fees!! WOW! What a rip off. They're raking in 11.65% plus about $1 in flat fees. Since the percentages are both subtracted off of the final sale fee (instead of in series), Ebay & company gets every seller for at least 11.65% of their final sale! That's more than Chicago's sales tax 0f 10.25%, the highest in the U.S. If ebay wants to gouge its customers, they could at least combine all fees to make them a little more transparent. From now on I will only list items on ebay...not sell them. I will cancel my auctions before they expire.

    How does ending your listing before they expire help you please? We also find the fees run at about 20 - 25% if we include the items that do not sell.
