Welcome to the wonderful world of Paypal...
I had to open a German bank account, which costs me about $3 a month so I
could use the service.
You are off best by waiting with transferring till your at least above $100
or you'll lose a big part in the exchange process. I usually try to wait
till my balance is over $200, although that hasn't happened much lately ;)
Unfortunately , it's the only fast and reliable way of paying people in
foreign countries at the moment. But as soon as some other way becomes
available which is cheaper, I'll make the switch.
