This is just not true...I paypal gifted $200 to Chicago206 yesterday for his Cycle 460 without incurring any fees. And my Paypal balance I keep at ZERO as often as I can. Then when I went to gift a much larger amount today from my CC they tried to charge $194 in fees. So there must be some rules in place that determine whether or not you pay a fee, and how much.
EDIT: I think that maybe Instant Transfers from a bank account are the free Paypal gifts, and once it is too high of a dollar amount, it kicks over to a credit card and charges a fee. Paypal's site is so vague about the specifics....probably to discourage fee-less end arounds. I only Paypal gift to those who I have done multiple deals with. Chicago206 bought from me several times on BST and eBay without issue, so I was not at all worried about gifting to him.
