Paypal overcharge

Hi.

I sold two items for £3.99 each plus postage at £3.00, so £6.99 total.  Both sent within U.K.  Paypal fee on one was 0.44p and on the other 0.58p.  I know it isn't much in the great scheme of things but why have I been charged at 3.4% plus .20p on one and 5.5% plus 20p on the other?

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Because the payment coming from the 58p account is a non-UK PayPal account even though the shipping address is in the UK and is charged an additional "Rest of the world" percentage rate.
