I too consider PayPal's fees simply the cost of doing business I don't
charge them back to the buyer and I don't try and get around them with
multiple accounts. I avoid sellers who add PayPal surcharges. Every once
in a while I forget to read someone's BrickLink TOS and get hit with extra
fees. I rarely (they would have to have something I really need really
badly) place a subsequent order wioth these sellers.
I consider it nickel and diming the buyer when it is really a seller's
convenience (not having to go to the bank to make deposits) as well as a
buyer's convenience.
