For a company that strives for an air of legitimacy like Specialized et al--the act stinks.
Be free to be snippy and put words in our keyboards.
Well if you go back and read my original thread redfooj clearly has a much deeper issue with how I conducted the transaction. Not that I give a s*** but I am annoyed. First of all I asked for a discount and we mutually agreed on how to save a little bit of money by not paying a portion of the PayPal fee. Is that makes a vendor or a buyer in my case Shady to you then you're a more ethical man that I am, I will send you a box of Kudos this Christmas.
Now to be clear I know some incredibly reputable Merchants who skirt the PayPal fee system most of those Merchants sell on eBay and don't like being hit twice with fees. Yeah I get it you have a fiduciary issue with that but guess what I don't.
