Okay, updated the previous “worksheet”. Just wanted to make sure I was doing it right.
I was kinda warned off doing the f&f thing, because like ebay, they want their “cut”, and can get kinda testy if people try to end-run the system. No worries, I’ll eat the extra bit.
Basically, if I still wanna use PP for ordering online, I don’t want to get smited or cast out or something.
But like I said, don’t worry, I’ll eat the extra cost, as it’s only a coupla bux. Barely more’n the cost of 1 LED.
Mmm, also while I do not mean to bust any bubbles I must point out the $1.50/piece discount is only for units above the 20th one. Otherwise 20 pcs would cost (20 × $1.60) = $32, while 21 pcs would be (21 × $1.50) = $31.50; which certainly doesn't sounds very right, does it? 
This means the corrected and upwards of 20 pcs discounted amount for fellow Lightbringer is: (20 × $1.60) + (5 × $1.50) = $39.50, which nets a $0.50 discount total.
Had to say in behalf of righteousness, but I can understand that since AEDe said nothing in this regard this cannot hold validity without his word (this means Lightbringer can still have his $2 :-D cookie).
On the other hand, with regard's to PayPal fees: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees#transfers
(I had to change my system language and clear some cookies for me to reach that page in english, fLIck1ng age of location aware and language auto selection systems, stinks imho)
After cheching that mess out, I understand AEDe's :facepalm: confusion.
Now that I notice, I should say that I use a bank account to fund my PayPal balance, but I do not mean to add more confusion here so I'll abide to the general fee consensus and let AEDe take a little tip.
Part of this “screw-up” is due to PayPal listing the fee which drags of received amounts. From the sender's side it would be a lot easier to see how much to add, but because of this some math is needed.
Given xnet as the net amount of money received by AEDe and xgross the adjusted gross amount to transfer:
Now you know why I never even thought about becoming an accountant…
Not really. Lots of places I dealt with had breakdowns of, say, 1-10, 11-25, 26-50, etc. And absolutely, there’d be this never-never land where getting, say, 24 or even 23 items would be more expensive than getting 25 with the new breakdown.
Damn, can’t recall their name, but one place that sold thermostats (small bimetallic doodads, not wall-mounted ones; Eleco, Elenco, something like that) had this rather retarded breakdown of 11bux each for 1-2, 7bux for 3-5, and so on, ’til you started to get to the more realistic prices of 50¢ each for 1000+.
And no, it wasn’t to cover the cost of shipping, as shipping was extra. They just did that to dissuade “small” customers.
I think I’ll just leave it as, “Hey AEDe, lemme know how much I owe ya…” and save myself the headache.
Absolute worst case, it’s just, “Aw, screw it, I’ll just use 219Bs…” if things get too crazy. I make it my life’s goal to avoid headaches. It’s a good philosophy, trust me.
If this is anything like the tracked and registered mail I’ve got from Croatia (LED4Power) it will require a signature. After you miss it you can sign for it to be left or picked up at the post office or re-delivered but I don’t think there is a way to “sign” for it in advance with USPS.
Just a probable heads up for people.
And back to being off topic:
The paypal method you choose adds money for buyer protection and their cut. If you choose F&F they still take their cut but it comes from from the person sending the payment and includes no protection. If you choose goods some of it comes from the seller’s cut I believe. It’s oversimplifying it but it is what it is. This all excludes credit card fees as well.
