How do I have the Payee Cover the PayPal Fees?

Hi PayPal Community 🙂

I'd like to set it up so that I can have the person paying me cover the PayPal fees. Is there a way to do this when I send them an invoice? Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ross

Calculate fees:

And build it into your item/service pricing.

No surcharges

You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.
