Most of the times I avoid any ad that asks for the fees up front.

I'm not running a business and I don't bother increasing prices on the things I sell to compensate for fees. I never ask for fees to be paid unless the transfer amount is over $300. In that case I ask the buyer if they would be willing to split the fees with me. I see it as paying for a convenience. The convenience benefits both the buyer and the seller in a quicker transaction. Even then I don't ask all the time.

If the buyer is unwilling to split fees then they are left with one option. Paying by money order and I only accept USPS money orders.
