Paypal fees

Also, if the buyer gets stung with the fees afterwards, should be encouraged to incude that on the seller feedback.

Ok, but how do you 'encourage' such a thing from a forum perspective?

You could update the notes for the feedback template and put up instructions in a sticky.  Also suggest any one doing it gets a low rating.

Just another thing to pop in here, the "buyer protection" scheme that PayPal offered, last I heard is void for airsoft items. Maybe someone can link the thread recently where PayPal confirmed this? I remember reading it here.

PayPal did go against anything gun related but changed beck to allow things that are legal in the country concerned

Related items that you can buy and sell using PayPal include paintball guns, blank guns, and air-soft guns, as long as such transactions are legal in the applicable jurisdiction. All of these items must display the markings required by law, must not be convertible to shoot a lethal projectile, and can’t include blank ammunition.

No not really.

Or with some slight rewording:

 it’s PayPals policy that the seller (recipient) is responsible for the fees.

You (sender or recipient) want PayPal as a 3rd party remote payment handler / escrow handler then you take into account fees in the agreed price
