How many other trades or market places demand that buyers cover the Paypal merchant's transaction fee ? Very few, I'd say. If a name brand merchant accepts Paypal, it does not charge an extra 3 % . Nearly zero online or physical merchants surcharge for credit card transactions. I have in 11 years never seen an Ebay seller do it. Try getting off your high horses and realize it is a small price to pay for the assurance your payments are genuine. Build the fee into your prices, accept other instruments of payment, or don't accept Paypal.
