Anyone knows why the fee is so big when i send the money to xiaoyanxu:

You'll send 23,91 RON
Fee 19,07 RON
You'll pay 42,98 RON
xx_xx @ xxx. com will get 5,29 USD ?

thanks

Yes it is normal for friends/gift option. Add fees manual like seller states for example 5%.

Marcin (EDIT: was Robev and its pinned ol cleary I need my coffee still) I think posted a table a while back that helps show when sending via friend is ok vs just paying the fee

Also if you do the currency conversion manually first, its cheaper

i have 2 options: friend with that huge fee, and the second when seller pays the free... i cant enter manually any fee

You can use second option and add 5%+0.5 (maximum possible fees I believe) to the total.

Is it possible to avoid the fees with ChipPay?
I accept ChipPay.

Unless you use ChipPay for multiple small payments instead of using PayPal multiple times, it actually costs more to use ChipPay.
As there is a ~5% fee when crediting the account + the 2% from ChipPay, you actually pay ~7% of fee when using ChipPay if the amount is >= $5
