help understanding paypal fees

[kdw712]

sold a F&F to a fella in Ireland

and if i get paid as a purchase (ignore gift for now)
i have to factor in

3.9% cross border
&
2.5% currencey exchange (euros to lovely ££££'s)

6.4% of the total to paypal

have i got that right ?   



and

how do i find out what exchange rates they use ?

is it as per www.xe.com or some special paypal rate ...........

Seen tons of stuff on fleaBay that I wanted but refuse to use 'PayTheif'; tax evading, responsibility shrugging, law-dodging bandits. 

Shylots and fops and very, very saggy.

i definitely agree that they make it up as they go along, every time i look at myebay, the fees i owe seem to have gone up a few quid
