I'm trying to sell several items for charity on ebay. Whilst ebay are not charging fees (as the charity is registered with Paypal giving fund) when I get paid via paypal, paypal is taking a fee. For example, I sold an item for £10.50 plus £2.90 postage. Paypal have taken a 3.4% +20p fee (66p) on both the sale price and postage. Paypal giving fund will be collecting the £10.50 sale fee and I need to pay £2.90 postage, so I'm going to be out of pocket. Whilst it's only 66p on this occasion, I have several items on ebay 100% for charity, some much higher value items. I can't afford this process. Surely as these items are being sold for charity Paypal shouldn't be charging the fee? Is paypal then going to charge the charity for receiving the donation?
