Fees for paypal gift??

[IDB1]

Just sent funds using the time-honoured 'paypal gift' and was charged fees..

Less than their usual 4% but still. . . .

Anyone else had this yet??

paying by marking as a gift always costs. that's why people want you to pay that way. it costs you to send, not them to receive.

That's how I've always found it anyway.

Yes, it does it when you go over a certain threshold. Seems to be about £50 on my account. Use "money owed" if you want fee free action.

This makes sense... this is the first time I've had to cover the (greatly reduced... only 8p for a £15 gift) fees . .

Wondering if the threshhold is renewed every month or something. . .

I think you also have to pay a charge on a gift if it draws on from a card, if you got it in your account it's all good (if below the thresholds)

Paid from paypal funds (unusual since I normally don't have funds )

I've only had two gift transactions that charged fees, even buying the overbury's via gift didnt incurr anything.

Quite odd. . . used pp gift for nigh-on everything since coming on here and this is the first time..

Tisn't a massively huge deal (all 8p of it ) just surprised me a tad..

I didn't pay any fees when buying the Kestral frame. But after paying i then had £1.50 paid in. Every little helps

Got an email from them today saying fee's were changing (inc 'gift'). Didn't read it all but I'm sure they won't be charging less! :roll:
