If I make a payment from a checking account - does Paypal charge a fee for the transaction?

[PaulTF]

For example - if I send $100 to another person with funds that are sourced directly from my checking account at a bank, does the recipient receive exactly $100 or some other amount?

Depends how you send it.

Depends on if its a purchase of goods or not.

Thanks but that doesn't really answer my question definitively.

To restate more clearly: If I send $100 to another person's Paypal account with funds that are sourced directly from my checking account at a bank, does the recipient receive exactly $100 or some other amount?

Then it depends again on HOW you send it ie which paypal option and if you are paying for goods or not.

As I mentioned above - I am transferring money into another person's Paypal account for them to use.

@PaulTF

And as I keep asking HOW are you transfering it WHICH paypal option are you using???

[PaulTF]

Well maybe it should be evident to you that I don't know how to answer your questions.  Mine is a simple one. I send $100 to my son's Paypal Account from my checking account.

I'm not sure why it is so hard to get an answer.
