Yeah...the $6 paypal handling fee is because paypal charges a fee to process the transactions (a really high fee) so to make any profit at all they need to pass that onto the customers.

Now they should have a cheaper payment method than Paypal...there are some that only charge around 35 cents a transaction...Paypal sucks for businesses...they should look into chase paymentech instead

Actually Janty is THE only supplier I know of who charges the customer an extra PayPal handling fee. Almost every Supplier I know of uses PayPal however.

PayPal does charge fees, if you have a business acct with them, but it does not cost anywhere even close to $6 per transaction..

Yeah, I'm assuming they charge $6 to make a bit of a profit...I agree that they should just remove the fee altogether and adjust their prices on items instead if they are having trouble making a profit (which I don't think they are judged on how they charge people).

Say you order $100 worth of product from Janty, they are charged about $3.20 IF they sell less than 3k a month...I assume they sell more than that so their fees are lower.

Paypal Business Fees:
Monthly sales Price per transaction
$0.00 USD - $3,000.00 USD 2.9% + $0.30 USD
$3,000.01 USD - $10,000.00 USD 2.5% + $0.30 USD
$10,000.01 USD - $100,000.00 USD 2.2% + $0.30 USD
> $100,000.00 USD 1.9% + $0.30 USD


But like I said they could just set something up with a payment gateway so they wouldn't lose any money except a .35 transaction fee or so.


I agree it is steep, but it could be worse...

Where you really get screwed is if you make small orders with Janty, then you are really paying out the ass...if you make large orders then you aren't getting screwed that much.

Either way I've already decided to buy from puresmoker lol

Sorry, but I have to concur that Janty sure looks like they are squeezing every penny and nickle and dimeing us here. I ordered the Dura -- hope it was worth it--But I will try to keep an open mind if the product lives up to all the hipe--other wise Janty is going to get the big thumbs down in my book--We will see Sun

I'm pretty sure that paypal is still cheaper than processing payments through credit card companies alone. I don't know...I was all ready to jump on that Dura but that nickling and dimeing really bugs. It smacks too much of unscrupulous ebay sellers who slam you with ridiculous shipping (who I avoid like the plague). From what I've read, Jeff is a great guy to deal with. If he ever decides to make his shipping more reasonable, then I'll buy from him . In the meantime, maybe I'll check out the Yeti- I think I read somewhere that it is very similar to the Dura.

I believe there are a couple other Suppliers on the brink of releasing their version of a JOYE510/Dura model as well Stay on the lookout

BeeQueen--you are spot on about it--the reason I ponyed up was for the new metal charger carrying case as it looks like a practical advent in the e-cig world. The passthough is great--but when your out and about I find myself wanting to use the battery more and more--So we will see--I will post after I receive and use it for a bit--Sun

That's completely wrong. Trust me...I've run some businesses online before. Going directly with a payment gateway and processor like paymentech is a LOT cheaper...its not even comparable...there are plenty of companies that don't charge a percent of transaction and just charge a small fee for the transaction alone no matter the amount.

With paypal you are paying .30 + a percentage of whatever you sell.

With a different gateway you are paying like .35 and NO percentage of what you sell.

Sun Vaporer, I look forward to your review! I wholeheartedly agree with you about that carrying case/charger- it looks off the hook. I was looking into getting a portable battery pack, maybe an APC. Also, Jane at ecigsales has this little doohickey on her site that will charge your cig 5 times without being hooked into anything else. The only problem is, it won't fit any of my models!

cetke, thanks! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled, for sure .

GoldenP51, I meant going directly through credit card companies like Visa, etc. They take a percentage of what's sold on top of the fee, right? But I sell from my website and on ebay and the vast majority of my customers use paypal. So between ebay and paypal, I pay pretty hefty fees! I would never make my customers pay my paypal fees, though. To me, that's just the cost of doing business. ebay brings me alot of traffic, which translates to lots of sales. It allows me to make a living as an artist. A necessary evil, I guess.
