  • whenever i receive funds in paypal i dont get charged any fees...

    It depends how people send you the money, if they send it as a 'gift' payment the sender pays the fees, if it is sent as a payment for goods then the receiver pays the fees.

    Paypal no longer charges to withdraw funds from your account but there is a minimum withdrawal of £6.00. If you chose fast payment withdrawal to your bank account there is a charge of £5.

    Not quite..
    If you're doing a personal payment there are no fees if paid from a bank account.
    In this case it is a credit card so there is a 3.4% fee +20p and this is paid by the sender or the recipient.

    Although I have heard of people doing this and receiving a friendly call from Paypal to say don't do this again or we'll block your account.

    Always ways around it i could for example make a paypal payment to my girlfriends paypal or wifes or my mum and dads knowing theyd all give me the money, probably be EASIER actually, save me opening a second account......

    As long as you don't do it all on the same internet connection, as Paypal are notorious for linking accounts based upon IP address
