I was showing my sister how to pay me back for the hotels we shared, using Paypal 'friends and family'. She is in Canada and I am in the US.

I sent her $2 USD from my Paypal balance, which translated to $2.48  CAD at the exchange rate. She did not receive $2.48 CAD.

 

She received $1.24 CAD, the gross amount shown below.

How is the Missing $1.24 Paypal fee calculated for this "free " friends and family trans., and WHERE is the rate posted?
