PayPal fees

I have been receiving £2.99p for an item off Ebay. Only £2.60 goes into my PayPal account, why am I being charged a fee of 0.39p each transaction I thought PayPal was free to use?

However its against paypal rules to use that option for selling goods and if you try can lead to account suspension.

Fees are...
