Paypal F&F fees

[AndStill]

What are the current pp f&f fees for international payments? I recently made a small international payment of $12 and the fees on top of it came out at $2.25 which is ridiculous. As far as I remember, they used to be around 10% which is still very high but these new fees are insane.

That's a crazy fee - even with the fee involved, repeated sending F&F amounts can affect the health of your pp account

Paypal lists all the fees,before you send or receive payment,make a copy of its fee schedule.
It varies by country,and currency and what method of payment-card/bank/paypal balance,so it is not HIDDEN.
Is it expensive,compared to Western Union,it is cheapn or bank wiretransfer
