Only when doing unusual transactions, I have not seen a similar charge like yours in all these years when reading comments of paypal transactions. In fact even here some members have paid via paypal & never faced such issue.

It's definitely paypal. They are not admitting it is the currency conversion charge because if they will it is way more than what is mentioned on their website.
Bhai how can it be currency conversion charges as it is very easy to calculate, I am suspecting it to be some kind of extra commission for sending money via paypal via an unusual method. It may also be that seller has some kind of arrangement with paypal where the buyer pays the commission to compensate for the cut in his received payment so you pay extra for seller to receive original amount in full(when he showed you he received full $97 but only said he will get it after 3% deduction,that may not be the whole truth).

The seller shared his PayPal statement and offered to give access to his PayPal account via remote. He also offered to give a 10% discount on the next order due to this inconvenience. Seller's good, paypal sucks.
Yes he did show that he got $97 & that is why my doubt because usually in such cases seller receive a bit less amount than what buyer pays to paypal that's why I thought may be it is due to some specific seller paypal agreement which resulted in this extra cost. Paypal has many types of charges for sellers depending on the country & the type of their arrangement with seller. I think that's why he agreed for 10% discount as he realized that may be this extra charge is because of his arrangement with paypal where every buyer will end up paying more compared to usual paypal transaction.

not true. i have one from a public sector bank. i don't mind as i don't use that for any forex transaction, i have other options for that which i have been using since long before this rupay came into existence. i personally know there are many more like me.
