Folks I just bought an ipod for my friend out of state. Now we thought we could use the high tech way of sending money through paypal , so will I be charged a transaction fee when she sends me the money..

You can't reduce or remove the PayPal fees AFAIK.

If she sends bank or existing funds, send it to your personal account. Everyone can have two, one that'll take cc's and take a fee on all transactions and a regular one.

if you have a personal account and she doesn't use a credit card, you will incur no fees.

Correct. Open another paypal acct and keep it as a personal acct. You'd have to open another bank account as well to withdraw the $ for free (or pay $1 for a check to be sent)

you fail for not reading the TOS before using the service.

Why does everyone insist on a free ride?
