They are adding an extra 3% on top of the usual 3-4% processing fees, so practically double
Can them! We all have credit cards and banks, we can pay direct or sign up for a new service with lower fees.
No problems at all.. Stripe is one of the largest processors / providers out there so you’d be sure of consistent service!
If people want PayPal that can probably be kept as an option in addition to another with the additional costs passed on to those who choose PayPal
I'd rather pay my suppliers for better parts or charge lower prices than pay PP for some fee they decided to implement without reason
Credit card for me is fine. Although I must say the six months no interest has caused me to buy a few other watches I might not have bought
I never use PayPal if credit card is an option. Their exhange rate is very poor for me, so I rather use my card and get my banks own exchange rate. So NO problem here
Paypal vs direct credit card processing makes little difference to me - most times I am simply funding the Paypal transaction with my primary CC anyway.
I've been using PayPal, but I'd be happy to start using a direct debit/credit card or figure out a PayPal alternative to save you fees.
I'd be fine with a different option.
Wow! Yeah that's not good. Imo, if I was you since you, I would leave it as an option and add the fee to the end total along with other options for payment. Sort of like how people in the past have done with American Express credit cards and their crazy fees. Paypal, unfortunately, is a universal payment method for so many.

Might have to bite the fees if there's enough demand for PP though, as there isn't a way to charge extra for such fees with the current store layout.
People will pay it and don't mind to pay it. May have to make a separate purchase for the paypal fee as bad as that sounds. Make one for each watch price or make one $3 paypal charge for every $100. Just throwing out options. 3% is alot for a company to have to eat in addition to the other 3-4%.
I hate PP and would be glad if you removed it, read so many horror stories recently between PP and ebay for an example.
I use PP a lot, but I certainly understand trying to avoid getting hammered by fees. Dropping PP certainly wouldn’t keep me from supporting Zelos.
Elshan:
Thanks for all the feedback guys! Its very much appreciated. I'll run a trial without PP for a few days and gauge how that goes. Payments will be processed via CC through stripe but you wouldn't need any account with them.
As long as payment can be made by credit card of some kind not a problem. screw PP for real. everyone should cut them out.
I prefer using PayPal over a credit card but it’s your business, ultimately you’ll have to do what’s best for you.
With a credit card you have a right of charge back if goods do not arrive or not fit for purpose.
PP is convenient but I don't think switching from it would be a deal breaker of any kind as a customer.
F*ck paypal
Do what you need to do I’ll still buy no matter what.
