But I do pay the fee as a buyer Kopes, which is why I queried whether the seller also pays it in some way?   It is a bit rich if both parties pay it.

I do know that some Australian Credit cards charge a Cross Border Fee on ALL paypal payments whether they are payments to Aussie sellers in AU$ or overseas sellers in a foreign currency..   When I queried it I was told it was because paypal is an overseas company.
