I have a hard time with bank transfers especially with the addition of % based fees. Sellers that do this are essentially punishing buyers that want some recourse should something go wrong with the order or the order is never sent. Yes, it happens even to sellers that have no intentions of defrauding their buyers. $@*# happens. Of course, my understanding of transfers is one sided. Different geography = different ways of life. In Suggestions, perrush writes:    In Suggestions, SylvainLS writes:    To me, fees also mean that the seller is bean-counting but didn’t include their costs in their prices, either to avoid Bricklink fees, to appear less expensive, or because they like having lots of lines in their invoices (I don’t ). I charge the actual paypal fee too. Not because I like an extra line on my invoice but because I think it's fair to those buyers paying by bank transfer. If yu don't charge a paypal fee, it means the fee is in your brick prices. So if a buyer pays by bank tranfer, he's actually overpaying. Just my 2 cts. But I know other have a different opinion about it.

[...] Yes, geography (or, rather, politics): bank transfers are cheap (often free) here :D (88 months ago, Mar 14, 2017, to Suggestions)
