Definitely not to pay 3% PayPal fee. If he disagrees, ask him to refund the amount you have paid, and terminate the deal. If he refuse to refund the money, report to PayPal to resolve it. Don't worry, you won't lose your money because PayPal will pay you back and deal with him just like credit card company. For your information, when using PayPal to pay a large amount, use credit card and PayPal to have double protection. In the case PayPal takes too long to resolve the issue, call credit card to put amount on dispute. Finally, if the issue is not ended up the way you want, report the incident to Audiogon, or eBay, and give him negative feedback.
Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not?
I recently purchased an item and after accepting my offer the seller asked for PayPal fees (3%). I checked the listing and nothing was listed in the ad about my paying the fees. I have already payed half the fee but I'm not sure if I should have paid the full amount. Changing the deal after accepting the offer feels wrong to me. Looking for guidance.
