PayPal now charging fee to send money F/F

[greenmonster66]

Has anyone else noticed PayPal is now charging a fee to send money to Family friends, etc..

[tiger8mush]

i thought they only charged a F/F fee if using credit card. They charge a fee when using account balance too?

[Rhotchkiss]

How much is the charge?

[greenmonster66]

I think its 5% and Yes for account balance which i only use.
Its weird I am on their site and it says: PayPal balance or a bank account No Fee

[Rhotchkiss]

It does not say that on my PayPal. You may not be able to see pic well, but it says zero coming from an account and 2.9% from credit

I'm looking at their fees, and it says that the charge is 5% (min .99 max 4.99) if sending money internationally via FF. No charge if domestic (and using a bank account). Are you trying to send money internationally?

[greenmonster66]

Yes I just saw that myself... so that answers my question! Thank you guys!

It wouldn't surprise me if PayPal did start charging for F&F, too many dishonest people abuse their service.

I just noticed that too this evening...…….they charged me .55 cents to send...guess its not free anymore

[TanksAndSpartans]

The thing you have to be careful with is a charge from your CC company for a cash advance. I was recently charged $20.50 for a F&F payment of 20 dollars to the guy who ran my fantasy football league. It's definitely new. I was able to call the CC company and get it reversed, but that kind of thing is hit and miss. I don't have a bank account attached to my PayPal, just a CC, so there isn't a way around it for me (other than not using F&F which I won't be anymore), but should be for anyone who gave PayPal their checking account info. I only use F&F maybe once a year, but I always recall a small PayPal fee, never had a CC fee before.

Yep, I just paid 4.99 to send funds to Canada

Are you referring to just about everyone on this site, in the Auctions and BST threads?

I was not charged a fee when I sent some money today via f/f.

[greenmonster66]

I sent $$ from my balance to Canada and it charged me $1 (5%).

I've been selling (not on ebay) using f/f to my bank account and have not been being charged.

I know right, we're all friends here so I see no issues.....it says "Friends" and Family.

It also says "goods and services." Buying would be "goods." Just sayin'.
