Has anyone sent a payment as a gift via paypal recently as they seemed to have started to charge for the privelige. Or maybe its just something strange with my account. _________________ This is my website which has pictures of my chelsea programme collection. www.freewebs.com/dellboye |

Sorry mate, you should have said before you paid!!
I sometimes get charged for gifts but sometimes not... i thought it may be to do with limits on what you can send but ive sent more recently than ever and not had any charges so i cant work it out! |

Ive recently sent a gift and I too got charged.
Uually when I make a payment I dont pay a charge, however, the person who recieves the money pays a charge (Usually 3.8% + 20p depending on the volume they recieve). However, when you make a payment as a gift the charge is paid by the person making the payment (i.e. you). Its so that if you make a gift os say £10 thenthat person recieves £10 not £10 less charges _________________ Many Thanks

I never fully understood this, but I have come up with the theory that if you have money in your paypal account then sending as a gift is free, however if the payment comes from your card/bank through paypal than there is a charge. _________________ MY CURRENT PROGRAMME WANTS:

Reading the Paypal website it looks like to me, that if you use your Paypal account for payment you will not get charged for payment, but if you use a credit/debit charge to pay you will be charged.

That sounds familiar actually and would make perfect sense! |

...and yet I recently spent a fair bit on ebay with nothing in my Paypal account and din't get charged for using my credit card on gifts. Anything perhaps with feedback scores, or level of buying? |

Agreed, I have just made a gift with some money in my account and I have not been charged.
Cant argue with it I supose. Just wish paypal would reduce their charges on low value transactions! |
