Hi, I want to make a purchase from a seller in Canada. I am located in the US. I want to use my paypal balance as my personal credit card charges a 3% fee for international purchases. I have made international purchases before using my paypal balance and have never noticed any fees charged to my account. I do realize the seller has to pay fees to accept money from paypal. I myself am charged fees from paypal when I sell an item through ebay but that is as the seller not the buyer. Paypal has informed me that if i use my paypal balance to purchase an item from Canada I will be charged a transaction fee of an additional 5%. Is this correct? Doesn't the seller cover this fee? To confirm. If i buy an item from a Canada for $100 the amount taken from my paypal balance will be $105. Is this statement correct? hope you can help clarify this, thanks
