PayPal 'Gift' Payments
I'd always thought that 'gift' payments were free from charges on both sides, but that's a couple of guys now telling me that
they had to pay a couple of extra quid to send dosh. 
Has that always been the case, or is it a recent revision?

always been like that i think, otherwise why would anyone not send it as a gift?. the reason why people say send it as a gift is so that the person
sending has to pay the fee!

Always been like that for as long as I have used it. Lets the sender absorb the fee to send the money.

I've just been looking through my PP 'history and can't find any charges on either side for any 'gift' payments
I've sent. Are there different 'levels' of accounts?

I think it depends on what kind of account each person has. There have been times I could and times I couldnt avoid the fees, it should always tell
you before you send tho, and should give you the option for the sender or recipient to pay it.

yes you have  you type in £10 for example, and the actual amount coming off your account is like £10.53 or something. the person you're
sending to gets £10
check your account again

Thats why I use bank transfer between people I trust. Bought a few things lately off here and done bank trasnsfer so no fees on either side and money
normally goes in their bank in 10 mins on a "faster payment" transfer. I only use paypal for ebay as I have to most of the time.

paypal
Receiving a personal payment (e.g. a gift from family) is free if the sender uses their PayPal balance or their bank as a funding source. If they use
a credit or debit card there will be a small fee. The sender can decide to pay this or pass it on to you.
This might change then as i read this this morning:

it depends if you have funds in your account or if its pulled from your bank account.
You dont get any coverage with gifts if the stuff doesn't turn up or is not as described.
