And - if all else fails - I think PayPal has the answers to these questions on its site.

The person getting the money should be the person who does the shipping labels. Why are you doing shipping labels after you pay someone else?

Meant when I ship something, I make labels but they have already paid me for shipping...I did not ever notice a charge for labels from paypal, cause that $$$ goes either to USPS or UPS...I checked my account and I am only charged for the use of the account... a few cents, not much for the convenience...not for any labels...I would email them and ask?

When the person pays you and includes shipping, that money is in your paypal acct and when you print the label, it comes out of your paypal acct. For example if someone paid you $10 for shipping but the label only cost $5 you would still have the extra $5 in your paypal acct. If there's some new way of paying where the payer's $$ automatically goes to the shipper, I haven't heard of it. 100% of my labels show a transaction in which the shipping cost came out of my paypal balance.

In my limited experience:

The buyer paid x amount which included shipping/postage.

If the buyer DID NOT check the "personal" box,
PayPal took a fee from ME, the seller, on the total amount.

So far, the percentage has varied from almost 10 percent to about 4.1 percent. The highest percentages are on the very low $ transactions.

If the payment is sent as a gift, the person paying pays the paypal fee and then it is not charged to the person receiving the payment.

When I sent money as a "gift" - neither one of us had to pay - unless it was an international transaction.
