I'm still mystified...

A seller needs to figure paypal fees into the final selling price, which, IMO, should include the fee at no additional charge.  If a buyer wants to negotiate lower, the issue of the fee comes into play.  As Dweller1 pointed out, if you don't like it, don't do it.  

While I find it annoying, ultimately my buying decision is based on final price, not how it is added up to. I’ve noticed more restaurants and gas stations changing less if you pay cash..

It is a pet peeve of mine as well. I am not going to negotiate. I use buy it now button or offer the asking price. If the price is fair I pay it. If the seller asks to pay their fee I skip the ad.

It is one of my pet hates for sure.
I make a point of usually stating in my ads, no PayPal fees!

It does not matter what I look at and how great the price maybe, if it says buyer pays PayPal fee its move right along time.
Shortsighted maybe but it just irks me and I am very high on principle ... Lol.

Matches my views exactly! These sellers that state "paypal add 3%" are basically cheapskates. I don’t want to deal with them at all because this is a warning flag as to the type of transaction that can happen (if something goes wrong, their personality behavior is influenced by a "cheapskate" attitude).
