What is Paypal charging you?

Paypal is presently charging me a 4.05% fee on transactions, up from 3.95% just yesterday. They keep bumping their percentage fee up on me - it started out at 2.9%.

Unfortunately, the fine print gives them the right to charge whatever they want, so my only recourse is to stop using them.

Just curious - what are the rest of ya'll getting charged?

I like the way paypal works, but I only use bank accts. (no cc) to pay or recieve payment and it's free!

If you go with the basic membership, and cash only, you dont get charged. It's the upgraded levels and the credit card transactions where you get dinged.

That is the only way around the fee, which they must be
able to change without notice.

Paypal eChecks take a few days, but flat fee of $5!! Big savings on big ticket items like Soundlabs.

Then why do some sellers here on A'gon charge 3% without the disclaimer that it only applies if you use CCs?
(Please notice that I wrote, "some.")

That disclaimer would only need to apply if the seller has a PayPal Personal account. If they have an upgraded account, they see the fee even if no CC is involved.
