OT: New Paypal Fee

[rp12367]

I just sent a Paypal to my wife's sister in Ireland. I used Paypal family/friends and they charged me just over $2.00 to complete transaction. Just wondering if this was because it was overseas or if they charge period to use this now. Either way it is still cheaper than using Western Union or another type company. Just wondering. Thanks Ralph

I believe if the funds are transferred from a bank account, or your paypal account it is free to use family and friends. There is a fee involved if you transfer from your debit or credit card though.

It is right on the PayPal website.

You may be surprised how low our international money transfer fees are. Fees are based on recipient's country, whether you fund the transfer with your bank account or a credit card, and currency. For example, it costs just $1 USD to send $100 USD to Australia when you use your PayPal balance or bank account. You can also choose whether you or the recipient covers any fees.

Yup. There is a small fee if sending overseas.

Thanks guys I was pretty sure that was the case. I'm sure if I looked around on their website, I would have found my answer. Thanks
