no, i saw usually arround 35-45% but never half or more than half. paypal is too risky, even as a real nice user you can get in troubles
I disagree with you on many points but regarding this point I am agree with you that paypal is risky even we take that from trusted or reputed person.
How many times should I tell you, paypal is not risky, paypal is one of the safest and fastest way online to send money, now there is a must to know how they think how they work and so on.
And if he is taking dirty paypal means that he can expect at any moment to be get a dispute lol.
