Among the increased fees is a currency conversion charge increase from 2.5 to 3 percent on top of the exchange rate established by PayPal's bank. Meaning customers will pay three percent more than the bank's currency conversion difference when exchanging money internationally.

While the half percent increases for most transactions won't impact buyers and sellers who only make a handful of transactions a year if you have a business that sells products all over the world it could result in a significant impact on business owners.

Not only that, Paypal even added an "non-discouragement clause", that would make it impossible for a seller to tell his customers just how bad Paypal really is when they hold your money hostage for totally pointless reasons and demand equally pointless "proof" from users so they can get access to their own money again. Just avoid it.
