I'd suggest they do a free IBAN transfer in Euros into our € bank account - no fees and no chargeback risk. Or for the xenophobes - suggest BidPay or MoneyBookers.
Never, ever use PayPal except for domestic transactions, and only then to confirmed addresses by a trackable shipment method at buyer's expense.

OK. Soooooo he SENT the pay pal payment. NOW,,,,,,,What if I REFUND him? Will Pay pal buddy will STILL keep SOME of the money? Am I correct on that? How much on a $103.00 sale?
Thanks!
I THINK I should have stuck to my Guns. No pay pal!
Oh! and also I asked him HOW is funded this, Credit card or a deposit? Still waiting for a response from him on that.

hi jack, according to what you type of account have with paypal, it should be about 2.9 percent plus .30 cents so that would make it roughly 3.30 that they took for fees -- but they should return the whole thing to you if you refund the whole payment back to the buyer.
