If you, as a seller, accept only PayPal as a method of payment, then you should be able to charge whatever handling fee you want, as it will not be higher than the handling fee for any other method of payment that you accept.
Am I reading that cut from the PayPal website correctly? They don't actually use the phrase "that you accept". Is it implied? I think so, but I'm not sure.
Even if a seller accepts other forms of payment (such as money orders), couldn't he/she effectively make up a 3% handling fee for that payment method (based on time and distance to the bank to cash and/or deposit the cheque)? Then a 3% handling fee for PayPal transactions would still be acceptable by PayPal standards.
I am not advocating, I am merely posing questions.
