If I want to send a friend that has a business account rather than personal, a monetary gift will he be charged the fee that he would be normally charged as if I were paying him for something?
If you send a gift payment from your bank account or PayPal balance, there will be no fee. However, if you send it from a card the normal 3.4% + 0.20p will apply.
Also note that gift payments have no buyer or seller protection as there is no item involved.
I am trying to send a payment to my partners Paypal account from mine which is linked to my bank account but it keeps saying I am being charged £1.56 I do not understand why it keeps doing this as its supposed to be fee free if linked to my bank
