how do I ensure that the payer pays the fees and not me? I haver just been charged about 5% to receive funds. I have no problem with PayPal getting its fee for the service but I want the payer to pay this, not me.
Grateful for any enlightenment, thanks

You are not allowed to surcharge a buyer on Ebay.
If you are selling from your own website or similar then you can surcharge a buyer BUT only if it is clearly stated up front BEFORE the buyer buys the item.
Personally any seller that tried to make me pay his seller fees is one seller that i would not be buying from.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Thanks for your comment. Its not an Ebay thing.
By not being able to pass on the fee to the payer I have to take a 5% cut in the money due to me. This is not apparent to a Paypal novice until the money arrives (minus the 5%) by which time it is really too late to ask the payer to settle it. I was wondering where or how to deal with a payment like this so that it is all up front for both parties. And that Paypal gets its fee for the service.
