i mean simply, a service like ebay or paypal needs to have some kind of revenue to pay for server upkeep, bandwidth etc. i do think 9 lb is a bit stiff, but freq had said even 50 p would be theft, which is just silly. now considering my previously stated opinion that music and media should be freely available to those who want it i'll say this: the sites which provide those kind of services are community based - they rely on what minimal (i assume) donations are given monthly to support bandwidth and server upkeep costs, and considering the wonderment of torrents, this is very little bandwidth because the remainder is supplied by the users themselves. and the artist is still supported by the . unfortunately, everything has its price - it just depends on how many people are willing to pay it and how well distributed the price is. well that was an unncesseary rant - i'm really just avoiding continuing work on the senior thesis. |

9 quid payenemy 8 quid feebay £27.99 post your orifice near 50 squids to do that deal. the post office aint too bad tho.. at least they do something. paypal is automated now. its just a prog that needs a little electricity i could have done what i did with a quarter of a AA Duracell battery. |

considering it costs money to create credit card transactions and as anyone who has ever been a webmaster knows that no matter how well set up a website is it will always need some kind of upkeep, not it is not just electricity which you are paying for with services like paypal - otherwise you could just do it yourself. youve got a pretty narrow view of how these kinds of things operate. |

you actually think its a fair price? who are you? another one , why is myspace free? is it because they use it to spy on us? |
||||||||
|
|

|

i was kiddin about the duracell battery! if you concider the millions of people using paypal right now. and the billions spent each year through this automated system. then look at the total cost of the wages of the one old lady dusting the servers with an magicduster and the 3 security men half asleep making sure no one gets in the building. yes yes the coffee machine. and a few light bulbs and the answer machine. you might start to understand my point a little. |

i never said you were being fairly charged - in fact, if you read my first post, i said quite the opposite. but you're saying these services should be absolutely free, which really is just an impossibility. and myspace is not free, in the same sense that over the air television which you can pick up with rabbit ears is not free; you are being subjected to adverts constantly, and as roundabout as it seems, you are paying some small amount of the fee for the upkeep of myspace or tv each time you purchase something which you had previously seen advertised. this is what i mean when i say that it depends on who is willing to pay and how widely this payment is distributed amongst the clientele. |

i was gonna say all that. ....haha really! well not all of it, just the advert thing. even so let em advertise on paypal too things like hotdogs and milkshakes. ill be fine then. hey you had a go at me about the tv licence thing too. a few months back . i remember now. cause i hate the bbc. i just dont like the mad insane fees. why cant they be co operative? and love us.....and give us money instead. |

to be honest your wasting your time with me. i hate rip offs. |
||||||||

i know what you mean tho really.. :) thanks |

yeah the fees are a bitch, but they are also avoidable. craigslist is a great example of a service similar to ebay which offers a much more "free" service, as the upkeep of the servers again rely on donations by members of the community, as well as not having the legal quibbles of guaranteeing mediation in the case of the dissatisfaction of one of the involved parties. essentially, it is a community driven version of ebay, minus the auction aspect. |

Use ebay.com instead, weak dollar |

Yeah I know what you meant, but your response made it look as if freqy had said there should be no service charge when in reality he was complaining about the overly high service charge. |
||||||||
|

|

Yeah, paypal's shit with the transaction rates. Cheque? |

I've thought about that idea before with robots. Like if all robots were connected to the same mother brain or something, they could ALL agree to do one single action together. Actually if one felt pain they should all feel it since that's mental too. It would basically be one single being I guess. |
