From paypal....

The Personal payment categories are for payments between individuals for no commercial reason, i.e. for the purpose of personal, family and/or household affairs:

• Gift: Sending a monetary gift
• Household Expense: Paying a roommate for sharing the rent
• Personal Payment Owed: Splitting a lunch bill
• Other: Personal payment that does not fit in to any of the other categories

Note: Recipients of credit or debit card funded 'Personal Payments' will incur a fee. However if you choose to pay for a 'Personal Payment' by credit or debit card, you can opt to pay the fee instead of the recipient. The receiving fee is calculated as 3.4% of the payment, plus £0.20.

So make your bank account the primary funding source and you won't get fee's!

thanks for clearing this up for me hun...

when you say make my bank account the primary funding source do you mean 'confirming' my bank account like when they ask you to transfer an amount ans they put it back to you with a code in 3 days which you state to get it linked?

coz iv done this already?

They changed a few months ago now. It's only if you send a gift by credit card payment i think though, if you do it by DD/ pp funds they don't charge

ETA; dohh really should read thread whole way through before answering

you need to have a confirmed account yes but you also need to set your bank account as the primary funding source. its two separate things.

Yup what Gills said it the case on mine, I just went to gift money to Jacqui and on my card it offered the option of me or her paying the fee, but from my bank there was no fee.
