Simple solution...eBay transactions done through PayPal should be exempt from PayPal fees.

If they ever require that here in the States, my eBay purchases will be finished. I don't have a credit card, and I'm not going to compromise a bank account. I pay by Postal Money Order or I don't buy. Period.

Thats why I don't buy off the bay.I don't have a payp*l acct so I lose out on some deals.Some sellers won't deal with a new guy either.Just have to spend my money local.

It's a requirement in the U.K. to offer Paypal, but you can specify other payment methods alongside it.
