I never used to get charged Paypal fees. Then they started charging me them for non-Ebay transactions. Now I am getting hit with them for Ebay auctions even. Did something change, or was I just lucky for a while?

Are they Credit Card payments?

I'm a Premier Paypal Member and get charged fees no matter what, but I know some people won't accept credit card payments because of Paypal fees.

It's the latter I'm afraid.

If you have a Paypal Premier/Business account you are charged fees for ALL PAYMENTS regardless of funding source.

That's why my wife has two Paypal accounts, one is Personal non-cc and the other is Premier for eBay transactions.

Paypal fees suck but whatcha gonna do? Nothing but gripe :)

I wasn't trying to gripe, I was just confused. Thanks for the info though, and the link to Damon's thread. I really do miss that guy, he was cool.
