If yes do you get negative feedback from your customers?
If no you do add this charge onto their cleaning price?

Matt,

Thanks for the emails mate,

I dont charge extra for paypal  as any charge is still cheaper than trying to catch them in collecting.

charging extra can get your funds suspended 180days if using paypal, as I believe it is agaist there rules to do this, or is this an ebay rule, or are ebay/paypal same owners :-\

We currently avoid paypal because of the minimum charges, it's much easier sticking to BACS payments which is just as easy anyway

I find more people without chequebooks prefer to pay paypal. Cost more than cheques with SAE but still easier and cheaper than using fuel and time driving around collecting.

PayPal and Ebay are both jointly owned by the same company....hence the way that can get away with some of the things they do. They are also not governed by any financial rules as the banks are in UK. They are almost a law unto themselves!

We use Paypal - NoChex - Moneybookers and also Google Checkout, never had any problems with any of them.
