From their help article on fees (my notes in blue):

We charge fees for the following circumstances:

• When you receive money from a purchase. (vs. via Friends & Family)
• When you receive payments from outside your country or region.
• When you send personal payments using a credit card, the sender always pays the fee.

This is the big one for me because every 5er you buy, every donation you make, etc. YOU'RE paying a fee unless there are funds in your PP acct to cover the transaction.

Transaction fees can range from 2.2% to 2.9% + $0.30 USD, and are assessed when the payment is made. If you receive a payment from outside the U.S., the fee is 3.9% + $0.30.

There is no fee when you make a purchase, or when you use your PP balance or bank account to send a personal payment.

I think I'm totally confused now.
