What fees? In any case, i prefer doing my transactions online with only paypal. I'm kinda particular with keying in my credit card info all over the place. I'm contend to just do it with paypal heh.
all kind of fees related to paypal.
here let me share with you an example, about exchange rates.
say, i buy a usd 49.99 game from from steam.
choices:
1. use my direct access platinum master card
2. use my paypal account
say in this example, my paypal account has not enough balance to complete this transaction.
my paypal account is also linked to the same direct access platinum master card too.
so if i wanna do a transaction with paypal but i do not have enough balance, paypal will bill my direct access platinum master card.
so, to buy this usd 49.99 game from steam store, i got 2 choices, either use my card or paypal account.
1. steam store bill my master card, bank exchange rates apply
2. paypal bill my master card, paypal exchange rates apply
the paypal exchange rates is much, much more higher than the bank exchange rate.
basically if you do not have enough balance funds in your paypal account, it is much better to use your credit card directly.

if you already have a non fees maybank savings account and a yellow colored atm card, you can get a free upgrade, to replace it with the cherries maybank visa debit atm card.
the visa debit card functions just like a visa card, except that you need to have funds in your savings account in order to make a purchase.
also, no need to pay outrageous exchange rates fees to paypal.
