Paypal sending cash. Free fees.

bromley52

Paypal now seem to have free fees when sending someone cash with no currency exchange involved.
I sent someone euros funded from my Revolut card and there were zero fees.
Apologies if this is common knowledge.

F+F payments are free when you have the amount you are sending in your PayPal balance.If the payment is funded from a card or bank account directly you pay a fee.

Be aware, you lose the ability to claim back the payment if things go wrong.

For example, if you buy something online and it doesn’t arrive or is not as described, with regular paypal, you can raise a dispute and stand a good chance of getting your Money back. With friends and family, you don’t have this benefit.

That's why you don't buy from people who are gaming the system. If they don't want to play by the rules when you purchase what makes you think they will deal with issues when they arise.

I had no money in my paypal account. I used a Revolut card and there were no fees.

Not anymore, I’ve used the option several times in the past few months with no fee and I’ve never had a paypal balance
