Worked out from PayPal Merchant Fees (US), commercial transaction rate card and 3 other sources.
The default 3.49% + 0.49 is PayPal’s published US commercial rate; confirm the rate that applies to your account.
Fee schedules are set by the provider and change without notice, and many carry conditions (transaction size, currency, buyer location, product category, item size and weight). Confirm every rate against the provider’s current published fee schedule before relying on the result.

How this is worked out

6 steps
  1. Fees are charged on 100
  2. Percentage fee = 100 x 3.49% = 3.49
  3. Referral / commission = 100 x 0% = 0
  4. Fixed fees = 0.49 + 0 + 0 = 0.49
  5. Total fees = 3.49 + 0 + 0.49 = 3.98
  6. Seller receives 100 - 3.98 = 96.02
