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.

I apologize for being the master of the obvious, but why don't you just contact PayPal and find out what that charge was for?

Did you by chance indicate what it was for?

Fees for PayPal Family & Friends using PayPal cash balance? I don’t think so. Unless you sent to Venezuela or alike

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.
