Don't blame Canadians for PayPal fees (1 Viewer)

[ekricket]

Spooky accounts? Dude look at my history and my rapport with people here. I once held close to 30k in chips at my house for people I reship for. I’ve got nothing to hide here. Stop with the “suspenseful” drama.

Since we are airing grievances here now, I’ll have to say no, I don’t trust everything you do. Some people do, but I don’t.
Some people think I’m an ass, but some people don’t.

Yes - I ask questions about purchases. The internet is not a nice place. The FBI notices sometimes where money goes, the tax man asks, everybody asks. It’s good to have answers bedsides, “nobody told me

We canucks know the real reason you Americans don’t like us. We’re like the cousins you can’t take home after the family reunion.

Agreed, one can ask questions and expect answers. However, one can also come across as spiteful and angry depending on how you ask. No good reason for that as there’s been enough drama lately.

You don’t have to trust everything I do, never asked you to Kevin. About a couple hundred other people here do, and that’s good enough for me. I got nothing to prove here.

We all become asses here sooner or later..... Embrace it.

I have had many transactions selling chips to Americans. In every case the American buyer paid the $5 fee without issue.

If I buy something from the US then I will pay shiping/handling and any import fees/duties/taxes. It doesn't matter if this is something bought from Amazon/eBay/PCF. The buyer pays all fees incurred.

@ekricket

Do you ever question why your interactions on this site usually are always unpleasant?

Kind of like the saying: "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."

But you go on ahead and claim you're some type of martyr and wear it as a badge of honor.

I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A SHOT ON ME. SEE MY BADGE. EMBRACE MY BADGE!

All I got to say is look at your response to all this. I didn’t start this thread, you did. I didn’t go all toxic and spew, you did. I never once said I wouldn’t pay anything, I expressed displeasure at something I thought should have been disclosed. If you had a sane reply to that we probably could have worked things out, but YOU chose the most toxic thing you could do to the forum. Because you have been wronged sonehow? That involves the forum and need the forum to judge it and pass judgement on someone that would DARE impugn the honor sonehow of Canada. Hope it works out for you.

 

[TheDuke]

I didn’t go all toxic and spew, you did.

Oh yeah, let's see...

You came at me calling me a 'fucking sneak.'

That's a real gentlemanly approach. Not toxic at all. Fuck you.

As if I'd want to continue a sale to a person who attacks my integrity over 5 bucks. You really must be insane.

 

[David O]

This thread is ridiculous! Another thread that probably should not have been started. I think some just love drama!!!

 

[raynmanas]

wow, this thread is some shit. how in holy hell is OP to blame for not knowing what fees Paypal charges the sender for an international transaction? i don't normally condone these public callouts, but i'd be pissed at the petty accusation too. just give it up, man.

 

[jpietrella]

Also, if you've encountered the fee so many times with Canadian chippers would you either: a. ask about it and get those terms clear prior to agreeing to purchase or b. assume they'll apply again because most sales that involve them assume the buyer absorbs those?

But also agree the public call out is probably another toe over the line - but I'd probably do the same if I was called a sneak.

 

[allforcharity]

Never had a Tim Horton's but I've had Dunkin, yeah its pretty bad. But then again I was raised on nothing but Krispy Kreme...

Yikes, I feel bad for you. Krispy Kreme is the absolute armpit of donutdom.

or just google it:

Friends and Family payments can be made to anyone in the U.S. for free (from your bank account or PayPal). If you are sending money internationally, you may be charged a transaction fee equal to 5% of the send amount (up to $4.99 USD). ... Currently the rate is 2.9% + a fixed fee (varies by currency; $0.30 in the U.S.).

 

[horseshoez]

Ok now that we touched up on this issue. PSA,

I demand all Canadians give me back every single penny in fees paid from my end. Right now.

Thank you.

 

[QuailValley]

[allforcharity]

isn’t the alternative good donut and good sex?

Are you implying that good sex involves a good donut?

 

[JMC9389]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

 

[RichMahogany]

I’ve learned from South Park that they aren’t a real country anyway

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

I just wanted to get this out the open.

The guy slandered all Canadians as being sneaky fucks.

Thought this could serve as a PSA that surprisingly, PayPal does in fact charge fees to senders.

At best it’s libel, not slander, but since it was written in a pm you’d have a pretty tough case to make.

Do you live in a bunker? When or Who do you know where the FBI asked questions to directly?

If you spread someone else’s libel, is that slander?

I always do. If someone offers me a Krispy Kreme I make them take it back.

 

[David O]

Yes but donuts do not deserve DRAMA!!!

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

If you say it out loud, without quoting, maybe.

 

[jpietrella]

Yes but donuts do not deserve DRAMA!!!

Those are technically Dronuts

 

[Saoliver]

Real talk though, let's start a charity fund to make @ekricket whole.

What was the total again?
