Hello, I'm currently commissioning some artwork for $100 and the artist wants me to cover the 2.9%+$0.30 G&S fee and the currency conversion fee from USD to CAD. It would be about $7 extra for me which isn't that big of a deal but this kind of behavior does not sit well with me and I was wondering if this is even allowed for sellers on Paypal?
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.
