Can this be built in to my paypal account somehow? My husband said on some sites he visits, the cost might be $25 but then when he goes to check out, it's a little more than that. We are selling tickets for our class reunion and just want to make sure we get the full amount we are charging for each ticket.
Thanks,
Brooke

Hi Brooke,
The standard PayPal fee is 2.9% plus 30 cents. You can use a reverse fee calculator to determine how much you need to charge in order to receive a specific amount after PayPal fees are deducted...

Keep in mind the following PayPal policy which prohibits surcharges...
4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.
