Effect of recent format changes

As a buyer I hate having to calculate stupid percentages plus a small fee -
also, why do sellers state these paypal charges when they then struggle to
calculate the total!

As a seller I just include Paypal feesin shipping/handling fee - you win
some, you lose some! I think in 3 months I have lost 17p in total.

Cheers,
