Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Paypal is changing a lot.  If you give to a charity or person (not paying an invoice, etc.) the charity should get the full refund.  It is possible that the donation you made went through Paypal as payment for a service or something like that.  I'd call Paypal and explain this to them.  I would ask that the Paypal fee (.029% + $.30) either be refunded to you or given to the charity that you donated to in the first place.  Make sure you get the receipt for the fees if they were credited to the charity.
