PSA: PayPal Personal Accounts, F/F Payments and Fees

[Eric72]

So far as I know, there's only one way to send money without buyer or seller incurring a fee:

If I send F&F - AND - fund the transaction with my bank account, neither me nor the recipient pay a fee. I send (for example) $100, recipient gets $100, my bank account balance goes down $100.

Your mileage may vary. This is just what I experience with my account. Important note: I only use this method for real-life friends & family payments, the way PayPal likely intended, not for Internet purchases.

Good to know. Most of the time I left the notes blank anyway, because I would send my address in something like a PM or email.

Didn't you guys know, T206, E92, E90-1, T3, etc are all class designations for your friends and family going to school. My kid is enrolled in E101 this semester

a sort of related question....

I am working on a transaction with someone in Puerto Rico. The address is a PO box. Seems like an honest person, but does this raise additional risk issues for a seller?
private insurance requires I send registered mail which requires signature, so I figure the PO box that will be an issue.
Also, with Paypal G&S, does it create any issues being outside the US?

not that large of a dollar amount, but still figured I'd ask...

Puerto Rico is considered domestic mail and is delivered by USPS. Signature Confirmation is not a problem with PO boxes, they should put a ticket in the buyers box and make them go to the counter and sign for it.
