Rockvirgo, you took most of the words out of my mouth. I agree that when a seller offers Paypal as an option, he or she should be the one absorbing the fee, not the buyer. This is strictly enforced on eBay, where I have made a number of Paypal purchases.
Other forms of payment are more time consuming and have the potential for additional headaches - especially for the seller. Since the final selling price of an item is almost always negotiable, it would follow that seller should just factor Paypal fees into his/her negotiations.
The 3% discount idea makes me smile, though!
