I agree it is not in PP TOS and he should not ask for the fees. I laugh when I see ads that state to add 3% Paypal fees to price and move on to the next ad. Whats next? Paying .55 cents per mile for the seller to drop the package off at the Fedex hub.

Now if you really want it and he really wants to sell it I am sure he could wave the Paypal fees. How much can a Spotnose het pied go for? It's not like its a 10k snake.

It all comes down to how bad you really want the snake.
