PayPal - gift

[northy]

When did PayPal start charging you to send money as a 'gift' ???

[MatBrown]

Did you have the funds in your account? Or did you send it overseas?

[MatBrown]

Personal Transfer
Send money
It's free* when you use your PayPal balance or your bank account linked to your PayPal account. There is a charge of

3.4% + £0.20 GBP*
for debit or credit card payments
(either the sender or recipient can pay this fee).

doesn't charge if you use 'personal payment owed' instead of gift

That's not right either it's to do with the verification process of being linked with your bank account & other credit/debit cards, you sometimes have to do it again where they pay a certain amount into your account and you verify how much they put in.
Happened to me last year when I removed 1 of my credit cards from being linked to my paypal account
