ok so I send regular money to my friend in the philippines... around $100 a fortnight. I send funded from my uk bank account, so I input the amount for him to receive in dollars, paypal handily shows me what that is in gbp that will be going out from my bank account, and I pay a fee of (using last payment example) 51 cents to send that $100. All fine, and been like that for months and months. Just gone in today to send him $100, and paypal are now quoting a fee of £3.99 (around $5.33)... a jump of 1000% (10x the usual fee I pay)... anyone know what the big jump is for? It definitely says 'friends and family', and definitely funded from UK bank account... what am I missing?
