paying a sellers paypal fees

When dealing with paypal, you MUST have an ace up your sleeve in most cases where they might be out some money.

I always use a credit card, PERIOD. Only time I don't is when I know the person VERY well and trust them. If you pay using a CC, the magic words if you get on the phone with an agent is, "I think I'll do a charge back with my CC company".... It then becomes a "How can I help you resolve this...." from the agents. They, paypal, don't want the charge back fees
