I don't believe that publisher pays fees for this. I suspect Y is paying any associated fees to paypal just like they would pay the fees for the bank transfers.

It is nice to get 5+% interest on the money right away.

I've used paypal extensively for most customer transactions and have never had a problem.

And, for me their fees are less than when I have to use my credit card merchant account (when a customer pays for something via credit card).
