Paypal charges

[SpikeHF]

I have been charged £2.58 for having £70 put into my paypal account. It says that money transactions are free in the uk if the currency is the same??

If you are selling goods or services then you pay a fee.

How else do you think paypal makes a profit to pay their staff and run the service.

The only time its free is if you are sending a 'gift' of money using the friends / family option and funding it from your bank account.

Paypals fee is 3.4% + 20p per transaction so you were charged the correct amount.
