Sale summary:

Sold through ebay

I'm shipping the item from WI, USA to CA, USA

 

Shipping          $0.00

Tax                   $0.00

Purchase total $58.00

Fee                 -$2.56

Total                 $55.44

 

2.9% of $58 = $1.682 ($1.68)
$1.682 + $0.30 = $1.982 ($1.98)

$58 - $1.982 = $56.018 ($56.02)

 

That's a difference of $0.578 ($0.58)

It's as if there were an international credit card being used.

 

A person visiting the U. S. could use an internation credit card for a purchase.

 

Was the buyer a verified PayPal member or a guest?

What buyer details are on the transaction detail page?
