Paypal, gotta love it.

Deacon, that's what I was thinking too. It must have been a heck of a pruchase to be charged $8+ in "border crossing" fees.

Yep, checked back thru a dozen or so of mine. Granted, none of my transactions were anywhere near as large as that one, but the "cross border fee" was always exactly 1%, and the other fee was a bit over 3%, but seemed to get closer to 3% as the amount went up, like the one show below. Am thinking perhaps it reaches a point where it is actually less than 3%, and that sale was really for just over $800.

What is really unfair is not the fee, but the rule that US sellers cannot legally make the buyer pay it. However, we cannot blame PayPal for that, it's a US Government rule. Frankly, I don't think PayPal gives a rat's a$$ who pays it as long as it gets paid. Of course a savvy seller can always work it into the "shipping and handling".
