Its not free though, someone has to pay. You are saying it should be the seller. And thats subjective. The seller can also say bank transfer/Monzo/Pingit. Unless PayPal as a platform is enforced to accept/send payments the 4% remains disputable 'on here'.
It will also be seen as a 'fee' to sell on lfgss like its seen on ebay.

It is free for the buyer. I'm not sure what you think is subjective, it isn't. Say you win something on eBay for £100. As the buyer, PayPal charges you £100. The seller receives this minus the fees. Same if you buy something via PayPal on an online shop. Your protection is included in the items cost because the fees come from the seller.
You're saying it should be different on here because buyers ask to use PayPal? If it's not how PayPal works, why is it fine to ask for more money to get around it?

Because that's paypal's policy. Why has the buyer decided it? Its usually sellers who say "paypal gift or buyer covers fees" which is what I'm saying should be banned.
Why should I pay extra for something just so as I can get the protection that paypal offers you for free?
