Hi Childwize!
Ebay and Paypal certainly haven't made things easy.. at least, not as easy as they used to be. The subject has been brought up before as to whether or not to charge Paypal fees to buyers, but it ends up going in circles a lot. I think (in my humble opinion) that it's just a personal preference, and that it also depends on the transaction, the cost, etc. I don't think I've seen a true consensus on it at all.
I think in the case where you just sold me G2 items that totaled $1, lol that my voluntarily paying the $0.50 Paypal fee really made it easier for both of us. You don't lose half your profit, and I don't have to drive to the PO, pay for a MO, stamp, and envelope, and send it through the mail. So as far as I can tell, that's a win-win
And for anyone who's interested, this is the calculator I've been using, and which I suggested:
