Question About Paypal And Fees

[Username Hidden]

PayPal will figure that out sooner or later too. Don't forget that they are there to make money and when people are trying to exploit it they'll find a way to get rid of it.

IMO the downsides outweigh the upsides.

So I guess I messed up when I gifted... They charged me fees

Maybe they added fees now due to the abuse.

last 2 times i sent money gifted, they charged me too! not the 3% or whatever but a couple of bucks. I wonder if were still protected when gifting money since they charge fees?

What else would you call it besides abuse? People were using it to buy goods, it wasn't meant for that.

...But that's what it's become. A way to buy stuff

Yes but PayPal has never been free, even before "gift" was an option to send payments with. PayPal has always charged a minimal fee for goods transactions.
