i just paid someone on paypal and they have come back to ask for the $1.52 that was taken out as a fee. they are not a filthy poor. they also owe me a drink. dont be this person.

@Xibanya My old band played a gig once where we had to sell tickets (ugh) and apparently we didn't quite sell enough because at the end on our way out we were accosted by the promoter and asked for £1.

@fry guess that chunk of change means more to people than the opinion of others. even when i was grindingly poor i wouldnt harass someone over such a paltry sum

@Xibanya ask if you can pay in installments

@Xibanya

I am willing to bet that if you added $1.52 to the purchase price, they would have asked for the amount Paypal then charged!

@Xibanya If you accept Paypal, you know about the fee, and it's just the price of convenience. Pettiness is rude.

@Berthavlix if you mean me, pettiness is the cost of doing business with yours truly. if you mean her, yeah, esp since i offered to write her a check and give it to her today (we live in the same town) and she declined

@Xibanya Ha! No, I meant her. I've never had someone ask me to pay their Paypal fee. That's ridiculous. It's like asking a utility company to take the cost of a stamp off your bill. The check suggestion was funny, though!
