Paypal fees are about 3% of a transaction amount. This is the same whether a credit card is used or not.
PlanetReg will allowd you to add a 'handling fee' or 'service charge' to recover this fee from your registrants.
Remember that Paypal requires a Premier or Business account to use credit cards.
All third party credit card processors require a monthly fee, a business application and transaction fees that average 3-5% depending on the type of credit card used.
