The rates have changed. PayPal didn't tell it's users. But you're right, the blog post didn't make that clear.

The rates haven't changed. They stopped charging business accounts a fee for personal payments, and clarified (made the UI more explicit) that they do charge a fee for all account types for goods & services.

See https://www.thepaypalblog.com/2009/08/a-clarification-on-pay...

The parent article is just wrong.

The rates have changed. I've noticed it in our own sales. It started earlier this month.

What were you being charged before, and what are you being charged now?
