Mace Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sent a paypal gift payment last night, and sent another this morning. I notice the format has changed overnight, no longer called a gift as such, but asks if you are buying goods, or sending money to friends or family. The latter now carries a 55p charge if from balance funds, or £4.99 if from CC or DC.....and highlights you are not covered by paypal protection if you choose the friends & family option...... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mace Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I just checked with smaller amount and fees changed. Also fees increased on a Hotmail email address......? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 i just sent a family and friends payment and didnt get charged although it came straight out of paypal balance..if it came out of a credit card then theres a small fee involved. but that was always the case Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
nsman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I made a gift payment the night before with a hotmail email address too and everything as normal, but will now go and check.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
nsman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Still no charge if you use paypal balance or bank account, but is for using debit card which didn't used to be the case, always was for credit card. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Still no charge if you use paypal balance or bank account, but is for using debit card which didn't used to be the case, always was for credit card. Correct, just done one myself. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mace Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Think you'll find it depends on amount you are sending and for some bizzarre reason it seems to charge more for Hotmail address....well it did for the one I was sending to? I know it used to charge for CC, but from balance payments is was usually free most the time.... Seems to be free on lower amounts so maybe if £100 or more?

Mace Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Just to satisfy my curiosity I tried it again and it levvys the charge on the hotmail address I was sending to, but not to another different hotmail address? This was from a balance, not a CC or DC. How bizzarre is that? ...and no, it wasn't a Cyprus Paypal Account that the Hotmail addy was linked to ;o) Edited March 20, 2013 by Mace Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
