What is truly ridiculous is how people can be so gullible particularly in handling their own money. Sending through "friends/family" option has its own purpose. I send money to my family members from time to time out of goodwill with my paypal balance and I believe there is no fee for it according to this Paypal Article(and if there is, clearly the amount is small enough to go unnoticed). Without that option, I will be charged for sending money as a gift as if I bought a product or service(which is significantly higher). Why should the users who are benefitting from using Paypal's services accordingly suffer due to some user's ignorance and lack of wit? Look, information and options that will protect users from getting scammed are easily accessible. At least have some initiative to protect yourself as much as you are keen on complaining.
