Retention on a personal transfert

Hi,

 

I made a transfert (100€) from my paypal account to my boyfriend's one, and paypal retained 3,25% of the total amount. I already claimed twice the money, but paypal refused to give it back. The reasons paypal gave me:

- Additional fees --> For what? It is a normal transfert from one account to another

- Shipment fees --> I wasn't buying anything from him, just sending money

- Difference of currency --> We both live in Spain with a spanish bank account thus dealing with euros.

 

I tried to reach paypal via the message center but the service seems to be temporarily unavailable. What should I do?

 

Many thanks in advance for the help.

How did you send the funds, friends/family or goods/services?

Was it an international transaction?

Did you fund the payment via a card / balance or bank account?
