Unless you're a business, you probably have a Premier or Personal account. Personal accounts can accept Paypal-balance funded payments for free. You can also accept a limited number of credit card payments per year, but you will be charged the fee.
Premier accounts have no limits, but all payments received will be charged the fee.

I see what you're saying, but disagree in a way. Any time you go to a retailer and buy something using your credit card, the CC company will take their share from the retailer. For example, you buy something for $20 from Future Shop, using Visa. You end up paying Visa $20, but Futureshop gets < $20 from Visa. I wouldn't want Future Shop to charge me extra for the convenience of using my credit card...
Which is why some places will offer a small cash discount...
