3.2% fee for PP to PP transfer????

[Gingerbug]

My daughter sent me Christmas money, PP to PP direct transfer.  Why was I charged 3.2% when I have never been charged for her transfer before??  It was only $100.  Exactly as any time before

Its down to how the payment was SENT to your account.

1. If they sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see you as a seller and would also charge you a fee.

2. If they had sent using the send money > family / friends option then you would have had the payment instantly with no fee. (However that option is not available in every country).

Thank you. My daughter has always used her PP business account to tx and receive personal monies with me and never a fee.

Perhaps PP is now viewing it differently.
