Hello Dan Grossman,

Did you know you can use your PayPal balance or bank account to send money to friends and family within the US for FREE? Seriously, neither you or the recipient will pay any fees.

Check it out

It looks like, within the US, for some payments, there are no longer any fees for the sender or recipient when the payment is funded from PayPal balance or a bank transfer. Now it's just credit cards, eChecks, and other alternative methods that incur a fee for those payments.

This is great news to say the least.

I wish they would eliminate some of the fee. It would make people more comfortable using them as a payment site more often. I like paypal you get your money faster then any other site by far.

I use paypal for online transactions. It's the best for me as of now.

I don't suppose this works in the UK as well does it?

Knowing PayPal they probably kept it to the states.

Wow what a good change, thats good news for the US.. I like paypal and use them all the time.. nice bonus.. Hopefully this fee free within a country comes to Australia as well..

That is very good news as PP fees soon add up, especially when selling low margin things. I just hope that it spreads to Australia some time soon too.
