Default Why paypal taking a fee amount...

So far as I know, they always make a charge (flat fee + a % of the total amount) when you receive a payment, and another for any transfer to the bank unless you move more than £50.

Sending payments is free though.

Paypal have always made a charge for using them - it's not a new thing. There's a flat rate charge, and a percentage charge.

Paypal's standard rate fee is 3.4% plus £0.20p for each transaction

Merchant rates start at 2.9% plus £0.20p, and then drop to 1.4% plus the £0.20p

www.ppcalc.com will work it all out for you

I blame Tony Blair and Gordon Brown for allowing the FSA to be so limp-wristed when it comes to PayPal complaints

You dont get charged a fee if the bidder has the money already in his paypal account and has transfered it to you but you do if he uses paypal to transfer money from his card/bank account to you. This could be why you didnt get charged in the past as they've always taken a percentage otherwise.
