Paypal Friends and Family


I sent a payment to a seller for $2,900 by friends and family, when he received it $166.00 was deducted from Paypal fees, the seller wrote me to say that Paypal got wise and no longer sends funds with a fee, so there is no reason to say send money by friends and family they are now charging a fee for that but at least you won't get hit with a tax bill like you were a business. Just a FYI. This seems to have just started because I got the full amount on a sale paid by friends and family.

Fake news.

Now if you send money via Friends and Family using a credit card, they will deduct a fee.  Send from a bank, or paypal balance, no fee.

International transfers will also have a fee for money conversion.
