Done with PayPal after being charged for requesting money from a friend.

I needed a friend to send me some money so I "requested" money from him as he is on PayPal as well. Of course, stupid me, I got charged 2.9%.

There are so many ways to transfer money free of charge - no-one needs PayPal anymore. 

I know I sound bitter, but closing my account is my middle finger response to PayPal.

Well your the one that chose the option where you get a fee.

 

You could have got a paypal.me personal link and requested money for free.

Or you could have told him to go to send money > family / friends and sent you the money and then as long as he didn't fund it with a card then again it would have been free.
