While the PayPal panel at the eBay Live conference on Wednesday was lightly attended, those who were there had some strong feelings about using PayPal, primarily regarding cross-border trading and dispute resolution issues.
One attendee had traveled all the way from the UK to make his point. He said he sells on eBay.com, and pays 1 percent more than every other person in the room because he is based in the UK.
A PayPal panelist said PayPal has higher costs in the UK and there are higher costs for cross-border transactions. He recommended the seller open a U.S. bank account, while the seller countered that since 9/11, it was "impossible" to open a bank account in the U.S. without a social security number.
A Canadian seller said he is being charged 55 cents Canadian instead of 30 cents U.S. per transaction.
