The mysteries of Paypal

Paypal will charge a fee if you send a payment from a credit card, this is because the card issuer charges Paypal for the payment.

If you send a gift paid either from your account balance or the current account linked to your Paypal account, there is no fee to pay.

I understood that if you made a gift payment that Paypal didn't charge the sender. However Paypal has always charged me a transaction fee even when flagged as a gift.

Can any one shed light on this? - I've wondered if it's because I never have any money actually in the Paypal account ( I rarely sell anything!) and so it needs to get the money from the account set up as a feeder. It has also been suggested it might be because I've never had the account verified.

Would be interested to know the answer

Gift payment does charge the sender, it doesnt charge the person recieveing it ...which the normal route does.
