It sure does, it charges quite a lot for the privledge. To be honest, what really ticked me off about Paypal is that it adds a 10% hidden fee to my customers down here. it doesn't do it with international transactions but has cost me a lot over the last year issuing refunds to customers for a charge i never added in the first place. We have a GST (a service tax added to everything, like in the UK). It is included in the price of things on the shelf and is generally the normal thing. For example, a carton of milk will say, $1.98. This is the final price set by the store, the actual price is $1.80. 18c goes straight to the govt. By paypal, it would charge $2.16. You can't reduce the price, because now it would be 10% of the lowered price, it is tricky. I am sure no-one cares less about Aussie tax law and it doesn't apply to international sales anyway. Stress less. I am pretty much resigned to having to use it, a least in the short term. I will (after I have a slick system) change over to a real international business bank with a myriad of security features once I have all the outcomes figured and accounted for and tested.
