About Paypal fees? Seeking Advice EDIT: Thank you! :)

EDIT: Haha, I almost forgot that I posted this! I actually got some advice before this actually appeared on A_B, but I think everyone gave really great answers! Thank you! I'm sure you guys know that I would never charge such things maliciously. I just was not fully aware of how the fees worked (I originally thought it was standard to charge the fees (no matter what you call it). But now I think I know what to do! Thanks again! :)

I reeeaaally should have posted here before I posted on my art sites (because I think I got people unnerved).

Anyway, so I've discovered recently that if too many "gifts" are sent through Paypal, my account can lock down. That's how I've done my commissions for the longest time, but now since I get a lot more than usual, I feel the need to implement the fees.

I kinda announced it on my sites, but I don't think I'm getting that much of a good response out of it. Some are suggesting that I figure it into my prices, but I have too many prices to list (like...I have my base prices, but the price differs depending on what each individual wants). I mean, the best I can do is figure it after I find the total for that individual client.

Did I change my policy too quickly? Again, I'm not doing this just to get more money out of the client (and that fee money doesn't go to me anyway), I just don't wanna get in trouble. HALP.
