Paypal Fees for Postage

Dear All

 

I have question regarding Paypal fees on postage. 

 

Example NR:1 ( FREE POSTAGE)

 

Total Amount paid to my Paypal is £3.49, so as per Paypal fee policy I get charged 3.4% + £0.20 for transaction

which makes it

 

(3.49*0.034)+0.2 = £0.32 Fees charged 

 

 

Example NR:2 (POSTAGE COST £1.50)

 

Again The same item wich cost £3.49 but now it has additional amount of  £1.50 paid for postage. Total amount paid into my Paypal account comes to £4.99 , if I use the standard formulula as on example NR1 it would charge me:

 

(4.99*0.034)+0.2 = £0.37 in Fees charged

 

QUESTION: When I look at my transaction with the postage paid like in example NR2 I see that Paypal has charged me £0.39 instead of £0.37 as per formula in example NR2, so I guess they use different formula for transactions with postage.

I couldn't find the answer in Paypal help page so I am asking here, what kind of formula they use for transaction with additional postage paid.

 

Thanks for your help

Yes, I think this would count as internation as the buyer is not from UK, I have the free P&P for UK customers and £1.50 for customers abroad. They'r delivery address is outside UK and so must be theyr accounts holder is not from UK
