I guess fees might be incurred if a debit card is being used directly? Was it an eBay store? Presumably not a private seller?

There is always a fee with Paypal, for either the seller or buyer. As this extra amount is not an odd number but a 'round' £2, rather than a percentage of the sale, I would suggest it is a processing fee. Best bet may be to contact the seller and ask  :y

They wouldnt see it as a debit card charge, they would say your paying them for making it a 'SECURE TRANSACTION' for you!!  :(

There really should be no extra charge with a debit card. I would have told them where to go if they charged me extra for using a debit card.

There is never any extra charges. If you pay £34.99 that's all you pay. eBay take a fee from the seller and so do PayPal, so the buyer maybe only ends up with roughly £30 of the £34.99.
Check with seller first and if that does not shed any light on the situation then raise a complaint with eBay as you purchased the item through them and they own PayPal.

They shouldn't charge anything without explaining it.

Just to clarify though (as I have a card machine and merchant account), the merchant does get charged a fee for debit card transactions but it's generally a flat fee (sub 50p IME) instead of a percentage like Credit Cards ;)
