How do I set up my and my wife's Australian PayPal accounts so that, as "friends and family", we can send money to them from our overseas bank account? Money could be sent in Thai Baht or Australian dollars. Any transfer limits? Any fees applicable?

There is no such thing as a friends/family account as whether its f/f or not is dependent on how the funds are sent.
You have a personal account so your family can send you f/f payments by using the send money > put in your details > select f/f and not goods/services and continue > then they put in currency they want to send and the amount.
Not all countries have the friends/family option. Friends/family payments are normally free from bank accounts but the sender pays a fee for a card transaction. They may also pay cross border/currency conversion fees even if using their bank account.
Fees are in paypals user agreement on each countries site.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
