Well, I'm Canadian, she's American and we are both living in two different other countries currently, so yeah, I guess that is is. It would be good if the explanation about the fee was more accurate. I didn't see it say anywhere that sending to another country required a fee, just a thing saying to send from a bank account instead of a credit card. Anyway, thanks. Maybe they will accept some cryptocurrency instead.

Hi I want to know why PayPal wants to charge me $3 to send money to a friend from my bank account. It says credit cards cost money but bank accounts are free, but I AM sending from my bank account.

I am trying to send some money to a friend. I am being told I will be charged $2.98. When I hover on the nearby question mark to find out why it says:
"There's a small fee when you pay using a credit or Visa Debit card. It's free if you use a bank account instead."
