Hi @lorrainef84,
I have some information to share, in relation to the fees for Friends & Family transactions. This should provide firm clarification on what can cause fees to be applied to them.
Free when funded by the sender’s PayPal balance, bank account or debit card. If you use a credit card to send money, a fee of 3.4% + 20p applies. |
Currency conversion fees apply. If you are using a credit or debit card, a fee of 3.4% + 20p will also apply. |
A small fee applies to cross-border payments, depending on where the sender and the recipient are based and how the payment is funded. |
