I think it's lame too, but when given the opportunity to buy a $2200 preamp that's only six months old for $1k I paid the $30. I didn't want to but the seller only wanted to use PayPal. I have absorbed PayPal fees in all of my transactions, it's fair because the buyer will pay the same or more for shipping and I've always gotten more than I expected regarding auctions so it's a small price to pay.
