I think I know to whom you are referring, Hans, because I have had to pay 3.5% on anything I have purchased through Paypal with this dealer.
His reasoning is that Paypal's fees are so high (which they are!), he cannot absorb them. I guess small dealers are more adversely affected than the large ones who are more able to absorb the fees.
Having sold things myself where the buyer has used Paypal, and having incurred significant losses from the sale price, I can sympathise with him.
