Hi I recently bought a couple of records here and was invoiced £34 inc postage. That was fine and I paid in full. Next I yet a message saying 'I'm almost there' as they got paid £1.87 short and I was to pay the extra £1.87. I am pretty pissed off as no where did it say to pay as family/friends and so I've asked for a full refund and to cancel the sale. What a going on here? How many people on here do NOT get asked to pay family/friends even though you've never met the person and they're not family. Every seller does it and so I guess my point is that maybe sellers either incorporate the fees in to the sale or wear it themselves but to quibble over £1.87 does seem pretty lame and petty. Maybe Selling rules on here need to be tightened up a bit

I think it is up to the buyer and seller to sort out the payment method. I prefer payment by bank transfer as there is no cost to either party, same with F&F but there is no buyer (or seller) protection either.

 

If I offer an expensive record then I offer the alternative of using standard paypal but buyer pays the fees (about 4%) then there is protection both ways.

 

I stand the paypal fees on discogs and my web site but adjust record prices to account for them. But I'd rather give people an option for more expensive records. 

 

If the standard to be used is standard paypal with seller absorbing the fees, I'd price my records accordingly and offer a 4% discount for bank transfer or PayPal F&F.
