1. Create PayPal account
2. Ask buyer to "paypal" you the money using the email address you used to create the account.
3. ......
4. Profit!

Uh what?  You open a paypal account, you attach it to a bank account.  Someone pays you via paypal it goes into the paypal account, you want the money you log into paypal and initiate a transfer from paypal to the bank account.  You want to pay with paypal you log into paypal and follow through their little 'send money' interface and use the address you were given by the person you're paying and make sure to choose the right account (if you have several) that the money is coming from.

As simple as that? Let me try it first. If anything goes wrong I'll ask you again what might have gone so :))

That's why you see so many threads saying they want payment as a gift. The buyer doesn't get any protection that way, but there are no fees at all, as long as you use a bank account to get the funds.

By the way, I see no reason not to pay for a service I take advantage of. I don't understand why people are ready to pay a huge amount of money for a few coloured plastic items, want to get them as soon as possible with as little trouble as possible, but do not want to pay for that.
Next they will want keyboards transported round the globe at no charge ;-)
