Sellers ALWAYS pay a fee and its been like that since paypal started.

How would they run the service and pay staff otherwise?

 

If you were not paying a fee then were your buyers sending the funds as a friends/family payment?

If so then.........

 

Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so.
A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for 'non-receipt' OR 'not as described' as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.
However they can still open an 'unauthorised transaction' OR do a 'chargeback' (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.
