Fee on my 1st received payment from a client

I just received my 1st payment of $1270.00 USD from a client in the US.  The fee was $37.13.

 

I truly just need some clarification on the amount, and what to expect in the future, and how I might best avoid such high percentage fees.

 

Thank you very much.

neroandflint-  Be more than happy to lay out the fees for you and welcome to PayPal!  You can also check out our 'fees' page for more detailed information.  Essentially, our fees are $.30 + 2.9% of the total payment.  So, doing the math, those fees would be correct.  And I can understand that seems like a lot, but I assure you it's comparable with other companies doing the same thing (and probably lower when you take into account membership fees and whatnot).
