Question on fees

Hello,

 

My item sold for $675 from e-bay, but only $645 showed up in Paypal. Paypal showed a $30 fee, however they say the fees for Paypal transactions are 2.9% + $.30 USD. However 2.9% of 675 is $655.43, less $.30 it becomes $655.13. So why is Paypal showing a fee of straight $30?

 

Thanks in advance.

Was it an international transaction or buyer paying from another country?

Yes it was international. And based on that keyword, I was able to google it--didn't realize Paypal had separate transaction fees for international buyers. Thanks for the tip!
