I believe paypal doesn't charge you anything when you send your money to your friend on a non-business issue.

That's only true if you pay them out of your Paypal account or linked bank account. If you want to pay with a credit card, you have to pay a fee.

Yes, you are right. It just happened that my bank account is integrated with paypal, so it was always free for me.

Not any more. "Our fees are now the same for all accounts - Personal, Premier, and Business."

From your own link:

Free when the money comes from PayPal balance or bank account. 2.9% + $0.30 USD when the money comes from a debit or credit card or PayPal Credit (the sender decides who pays this fee).
