[TenTec] Buying on EBay

[Ray Sills]

Not all PayPal transactions have a fee.  If it's a person-to-person  
transaction from a "funded" account (you have already transferred  
money from a checking account to the PayPal account).  If you fund the  
PayPal transaction from a debit or credit card, then there are  
transaction fees: 2.9% plus 30¢.

I use the PayPal balance as a ham radio "cookie jar" to buy kits and  
things like that.
