Arle,
To the best of my knowledge the fee for PayPal is the same as most
credit cards at 4%. Just as people do not get charged the 4% as purchasers on
cards neither do the buyers using PayPAl. I have known Ebay sellers to add the
4%
to the price if you use the service to pay for an item but it is not always
the case.
I recently (in the past 2 weeks) sent a wire transfer to Europe and the
cost for the transfer was $42 versus the 85 Euro for the 4% that the seller
wanted for using PayPal. When the seller received the transfer it came up
short because my bank charged me the "buy" rate on the Euro and his bank
charged
him the "sell" rate. He ended up loosing about 30 Euro in the transaction
and I ended up paying the $42. Really it was the banks making the money but we
both understand how that works.
I believe that Hungary is now a member of the EU and has a traffic in
old and new currency (although that will change shortly I'm sure). Which
should make it easy for them to set up a PayPal account.
