It will be 4% of that figure in fees and you should be able to transfer it for free.

And make sure he/she has a verified address and you get proper proof of postage or you may end up paying your 4% fee to be ripped off.

Not being picky but it's 3.4% + 20p and you'd pay...£26.21,at 4% it's £30.60--->this
P/P calculator is handy to keep in your favourites if you do a lot of paypaling,it covers alot more than just the fees,transfer takes about 7 days I believe......

Id avoid PP at all costs. As FP says, its an invitation to be ripped off.

Currently the biggest facilitator of fraud in the UK.
I wouldn't accept payment from it for anything other than really small amount.

Sorry to hijack, but I'm really annoyed that I got a £5 voucher from ebay for shipping costs. Then I try to use it in a "shop" purchase and their system doesn't allow the voucher!
Talk about a **** take. I wouldn't have bought the item if I had known.

So am I, and I'm as dodgy as they come
.
Why waste £60 when there are better, safer ways of getting paid?
