Paypal - what do they charge?

Hi all,

I've just been looking at the Paypal website to try and find out how much they charge for sending money to someone else, I'm guessing it would be a percentage, could anyone give me any information on this please? I've searched their website and can't find anything!

Thanks

    The standard rate is 20p + 3.4% to receive money

    Oh I see, so I wouldn't get charged for sending it to her but she would get charged at her end? so on £100 it would be £3.60 to pay, is that right?

    There is NO fee to pay to send or receive money between users. Fees only apply to goods purchased/sold.

    >> There is NO fee to pay to send or receive money between users.

    really?

    https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside

    if you own a premier or business account you pay usually 3.4% + 20p for all transactions wherever they're from, and only if you're a personal account is it free.

    You would not get charged but the person you send it to would out of the money they recieved.

    E.g someone sent me 16.50 - paypal took 79p off me (something like that)
