Agreed, Bill.
People work at Ebay and PayPal, and they have families to feed, too.

Its not just that, David. Its the attitude that some sellers have that
you should have to pay them additional to take your your money. Same
mentality often tries to gouge unexplainable "handling" fees because
they need to be paid extra for their time. One clown charged me 50
cents extra for his having to print an invoice (which I didn't need or
ask for) and another 50 cents for printing an address label! After all,
"these things cost money".
Can you imagine having to pay for a portion of the roll of cash register
tape at the supermarket or them charging you for using the cashier?
Where do people get off thinking that these are legitimate things to
charge to a buyer?
