Beware of PayPal fees

I live in Israel. I have recently purchased an audio item from Europe. I agreed with the seller that I would pay his PayPal fees. When I checked initially about the fees I read something like 3.4%. To my astonishment they charged him (me) 5.2% with all sorts of extra fees. Beware!

The other charges are the conversion rates changing currency. 3 to 4% is the part you should be concerned with. What a rip off.

Thanks! for sharing taviran.
this is a text-book example of why I would never use a so-called service like praypal.
