Me too. I just transfered money friends and family.
£10 and I got charged 27.3%!!
I dont understand why so I cant help, but I speculate this:
Firstly, both parties ARE definitely in the UK. When I went on the page to send the money the sender amount was in GBP, but the 'buyer receive field' was set to EUR. I thought that must be wrong, so I set it to GBP. I think by making this change paypal believes it is now an international transaction - though clearly it is not. I pressed the 'proceed' button at the same moment I saw the payment of £12.73 - bah!!
If anyone knows why this happened, or how I complain/report it then please let me know via this post.

they are also a part of the international fraudulent money cartels
I was charged 30% for sending money to friends
and only advised of the charges AFTER the transaction had gone through

It would be free fee if you live in US and your friends or family lives in US too. I just found it out.

I'm in US, paying friend in US. Each time I've sent my friend money, I'm told there's no charge during the setup of the transaction. But, looking back at the history, I've been charged 3% for every send to her.
