title: Paypal fees in a chained or parallel payment
body: <p>I have an answer about how Paypal calculates the fees to apply to each receiver in case of a chained or parallel payment done with the Adaptive Payment API.</p>
  
  <p>Is the fee calculated on the total amount payed by the sender? In this case each receiver would pay a proportional portion of the total fee. Or is it charged a fee to each amount in which the transaction is split? We will work with Spanish fees (3.4% + 0.35 euros) and in this last case Paypal charges would be significantly higher because of the fixed 0.35 euros that would be charged to each transaction. We are mainly worried about the case this also applies to the commission for the marketplace because we would be loosing money in some transactions when our commission would be lower than 0.35 euros.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/">This is the only info</a> I've found and I still didn't understand it. </p>
  
  <p>In the text they do not specify that issue (unless I am misunderstanding anything due to I am Spanish-speaking), so I had tried to deduce it with the examples at the end of the text although they pointed that "The scenario above is an example only and is not representative of actual PayPal fees". </p>
  
  <p>But it resulted that the scenarios were completely unreal as they charged a higher fee to a secondary receiver that was receiving an amount of $130 than other receiving $150. So it was impossible for me to get any conclusion.</p>
