Can someone verify how PayPal assesses fees on international transactions?
I find conflicting information on their website.

After logging in to your account, the "Policy Changes" link provides the
following:

  International Payments Free for Domestic Users

  Entry Date: October 2, 2000
  Effective Date: October 31, 2000
  PayPal plans to introduce the ability to send money to, and receive money
  from, international users in 26 countries by Halloween. There will be no
  additional fees for domestic customers to send or receive international
  payments.

However, the following link suggests that every international transaction
involves fees.

  Does PayPal cost anything?
  PayPal charges a modest 2.6% + $0.30 International Currency fee on all
  transactions involving a credit card., which is far less expensive than
  wiring funds! In addition, PayPal provides premium services at low rates for
  businesses.

Could it be that international transactions in US funds do not incur any fees?

Clarify well,
