Just wondering if there are any fees incurred to send money to a friend/family from Indonesia to the USA. Please do not tell me what to do to find the answer on my own because I have spent hours looking for the answer all over the site. Please kindly answer Yes/No and how much the fees are going to be. Sorry but I am kinda frustrated looking for the answer.  Thank you in advance!

Yes, of course there are fees. PayPal is not a free service they are a business. The fees vary, but are about 5% of the total. So if you send 100,000 they receive only 95,000. But you cannot send in rupiah, you must send in US Dollars, EUR, GBP, etc.
