I don't understand what is going on. Ok let me outline things.. I basically sold my RDRAM on ebay, 2 64MB RIMMS and 2 256MB Rimms to two different customers. I recieved $20 for the 64MB rimms and $87 for the 256MB Rimms.
This is my $20 payment, to me:

Total Amount:
$20.90 USD
Date:
Jul. 29, 2006
Time:
22:52:14 PDT
Status:
Completed
On the $20 transaction, I'm getting $20, and there is no other confusion.

This is my $87 payment, to me:

Total Amount:
$87.00 USD
Estimated Fee:
-$2.82 USD
Net Amount:
$84.18 USD
Note: This is the estimated fee for this transaction. It is calculated based on your account status at the time you received the payment.
Date:
Jul. 30, 2006
Time:
12:37:49 PDT
Status:
Unclaimed

1. Why is it unclaimed.
2. Why am I getting a $3 fee?
3. Why did I never get a fee like this before on a transaction considering I did a $150 transaction only a month prior
4. WTF? Is this paypal trying to rape me?

1. You need to claim it.
2. Either it is a CC payment or you upgraded to a premier account.
3. Premier account or CC payment.
4. Part of their TOS for CC payments and Premier accounts.

To accept CC payments and unlimited transfers/payments.
