When you add money to a prepaid like mine(accountnow) you have to pay a 5.00 fee to add it on. So either the buyer could pay it, or I reckon the seller. Afterall it's just 5 bucks. I use my card instead of a real credit card. No bill every month, direct deposit, can use it as credit or debt, rent a car, everything you can do with a credit card. They sell the green dot reloadable card at Wal-mart, CVS, Wal-greens, an many other major retailers.
For those that never used such a thing..Go to a store, buy the card(5.00) activate it, in a week or so they'll send you a new card with your name on it(just like a regular credit card from a bank). Then you buy the reloadable card(5.00 again) an then you can either use the phone or internet to add the money to your card. If a buyer did this, he'd have to send you the number on the back of the re-loadable card. I think it's better then WU whose fees go anywhere from 5.00 for up to 50.00, 10 for 100-200, etc etc. Same with Money Gram. You avoid the fees from them, you avoid the fee's from paypal, so no more double dipping by
eBay.
This might explain it better..
https://www.moneypak.com/. I save a lot of money this way personally. No bank fees, or any of that jazz. I add it to my card as I need to. The only downside is the monthly fee which is 10 bucks, but if you have direct deposit, there is no fee with Accountnow. I've used them for..oh, bout..10 years or so? Something like that.
Anyway..hope it helps, an mods sorry if I shouldn't have put the link, but it's on topic an explains it a bit better then I do.
