[Elecraft] PayPal fees

[David Gilbert]

OK, I wanted very much to adhere to Eric's post shutting down this 
thread, but Bill is simply wrong here and his advice crosses the line 
... at least for me if not for others. The official PayPal 
friends/family policy extends ONLY to pure transfers of funds between 
friends and family ... such as a parent sending money to their offspring 
in college. It specifically excludes purchases, whether business or 
private. Here's the relevant link (about half way down):

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/send-money-online

"When you send money to friends or family in the US from your bank 
account or balance, it's free for you and the recipient. When you buy a 
service or product, we charge the seller our normal low rate of 2.9% + 
$.30. We think that’s pretty fair."

There is no way that policy extends to private party ads for goods and 
services.
