No, not quite! There is no need for you (as seller) to suffer any FX loss,
Chris - simply specify that you require payment in GBP (assuming that is
what you want) whether by Paypal or any other mode. If the buyer chooses to
use Paypal, then the buyer picks up the FX loss, and you get GBP.

Yes. People who pay with PP normally use a credit or debit card (do you
have debit cards in the USA?). The fee is passed on to the seller, quite
reasonably I suppose, except that debit cards levy a lower fee than credit
cards and that is not reflected in PP's pricing. But the stinger is in the
exchange rate that they charge when you choose to withdraw the proceeds to
your bank account. It also takes a week to get the money ... :-(
If I sell something on the bay I don't advertise my account with PP; if
someone asks to use PP, I agree to do so on the condition that we share the
costs.
