Like with Western Union or Moneygram, the sender has to cover the fees.

You're paying for the service of a safe transaction, cheap considering if somebody stole your identity...your doing your customer a service, not letting your customer/buyer get charged is an incentive to buy from a paypal business.

If you don't want to pay the fee then don't let someone pay you that way. It's precisely the way credit cards work. You pay the retailer $100 for something and use your credit card; the retailer pays Visa/Mastercard about $3 and is obviously happy or they wouldn't accept credit cards.
Is the 4% worth it to not have to worry about taking checks, money orders as well as the additional customers who wouldn't otherwise use your service if they couldn't pay by PayPal. When I buy via Ebay I don't buy unless I can use PayPal.

Pay Pal offers a service to people who are trying to sell something. It allows many people to accept credit cards where they would not be able to ordinarily. Credit Card companies genrally charge an even larger fee if you go directly through them.
Pay Pal is secure, simple, and cost effective.
