Exactly, if you click donation links, paypal takes from 6 to 8%.
This is treated like a purchase in a shop but the sender has to pay.
If you received uneven amounts, it is simply due to the sender giving fixed amounts. The other way around, if the donor decides to send full like 10€, he pays the fee on top.
There are just different forms on paypal, donation form subtracts the fee, send to friend form adds the fee.

Shop owners can easily negotiate fees down to 4% when using paypal regulary for business.

But also, i do not mind to give paypal a share as the service is kind of nice from customer perspective and transaction is near instant.

In the old days i used to send money via rip offs like Western Union and had to bare 10 to 20% fee based on obscure regional risc calculations and days of uncertainty until money was "picked up" by the reciever...
