Those fees are charge to the people accepting the money so it makes sense to pass those costs on to the people making money. As far as I have seen Paypal does not charge you any extra to send money to someone via a card. But people that want to get money via paypal usually have to setup a paid account not a free one.

Understood. But if 2J's account is not set up to take credit cards, it's up to the buyer and PayPal to figure out the other end.

I have a free PayPal account. AFAIK, I've not been charged for receiving payments (granted, I haven't sold ~that~ much)

Nope...according to PayPal, I can not accept credit or debit cards. If I upgrade to a Premiere or Business account, I can, for a fee.

Personal Account
Ideal if you shop online. Make secure payments on eBay and merchant websites using your credit card, debit card, or bank account

Premier Account
Perfect for both buying and selling. Make secure payments on eBay and merchant websites. Plus, accept credit card, debit card, and bank account payments for low fees.

Business Account
The right choice for your online business. Accept credit card, debit card, and bank account payments for low fees.

The fee, if I upgrade to the Premiere account is 2.9% + $0.30 USD. What would that be for say, $10.50?

(I'm awful at math as many know.)
