Beware of PayPal fees

I live in Israel. I have recently purchased an audio item from Europe. I agreed with the seller that I would pay his PayPal fees. When I checked initially about the fees I read something like 3.4%. To my astonishment they charged him (me) 5.2% with all sorts of extra fees. Beware!

PayPal held  my 3000 euros because of arrogant buyer´s dispute on eBay.
My business AND my money without warning just froze for an unknown period of time. I had to fight 5 weeks for my money. Finally they admitted it was not my fault at all.

PayPal is the biggest scam artist there. We are all a happy family there until THEY screw you.

eBay and PayPal will never ever again play games with me.

I hated paypal so much that all 4 of my business online stopped accepting payments through this scamming company.  For Small transactions outside of ebay its fine to use. I stopped shopping on Ebay strictly due to Paypal and how they govern whos right and wrong.
