I'm aware of fees. When my friend made the transfer to me, he gave me the full amount but I was the one who was charged the fee! I read in the terms that there are no fees when a friends sends you money. What the hec?

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 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).

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
