I propose to have either a new type of handling fee or to adapt the existing
"Payment processing fee" in order to have a fixed value (new) and a %
of order total (as today). Alternatively the existing rule "Fixed + % of
order total" could get a condition depending on payment type.
Reason: IMHO PayPal costs must be calculated correctly: It's a fixed value
+ % of order total. I only want to charge buyers in case they chose PayPal but
not if they choose IBAN (I have no single limit nor any penalty and cannot hide
those costs). Currently there is no way (confirmed by admins) to have one shipping
method which can handle both payment methods correctly in the sense described
above. I do have to use a textual description that the buyer has to calculate
the final price by subtracting the Addictional Charges 1 in case he choses IBAN.
That's not user friendly at all and mistakes can be done.

That was a quick and easy NO vote. I will vote NO on any sort of % based fee
as they are used by sellers to show prices at an artificially lower price.
If you want to charge non paypal paying customers less, then give a discount
to those.

Exactly. It's even a law in France; you can't charge fees on payment
modes but you can give discount for some.

1) IMHO there are LEGO costs, shipment costs, payment costs. Thinking ahead in
your way the shipment costs should be included as well?
2) Discount was also my first thought but this does support fix + % neither;
thus an extension of existing payment costs formula seems to be easier to me.

I'd be fine with percentage fees, as long as you disclose the fees up front
so potential customers can least favourite your store.

Please double check the laws in your country but in a lot of European countries
you are not allowed to charge more for different payment types

Thanks for the hint. It's allowed in Germany as long as you offer a cost
free payment method like IBAN - and the court is saying that it can be seen as
a fee for additional service like checking ability of the buyer to pay the money.

Simple fix. Raise your prices by the % and don’t change any fees. It’s a win
win. Less work for you and buyer gets no hidden fees.

Firstly it's not hidden but VERY clearly described.
Secondly I have no single limit which bothers buyers. They can buy a part for
5 ct and I will ship it. But how can I compensate PayPal costs of 36 ct in that
situation? At the end I have to introduce a min buy to do what? Exactly - to
HIDE the PayPal costs behind a % value. THAT are hidden fees IMHO but not the
fees mentioned in the terms.

Quite easily. Charge the fixed part of the PayPal fee in your shipping costs,
and the percentage charge in your item prices.

Firstly it's not hidden but VERY clearly described.
in your terms or such. which few read. its hidden since the buyer is browsing
and sees your item for sale for say $1 and thinks. oh, this costs $1 plus shipping.
but then they go to buy it and its $1 + shipping, plus another fee which was
unexpected aka a hidden fee
Secondly I have no single limit which bothers buyers. They can buy a part for

you should work set costs into your shipping costs but % fees should be in your
item prices. for example, in Canada someone places a $5 order in my store. they
pay $2.49 on shipping. stamps cost me about $2, then the base fees that apply
to every order (such as packing materials, etc) are covered aswell.
At the end I have to introduce a min buy to do what? Exactly - to
HIDE the PayPal costs behind a % value. THAT are hidden fees IMHO but not the
fees mentioned in the terms.
if you work it into your shipping cost then you dont need to worry about that.
this is quite common as very few sellers charge down to the exact penny that
they pay for the shipping cost. also in some places such as California (which
you ship to) it is law that if you sell there you can only charge for the item
price + shipping + sales tax and nothing else and all your costs must be worked
into your shipping cost which is standard practice
