Here's a trick I used just this week when I needed to send money to private person thru Paypal (as opposed to paying for an item on eBay, etc.):
After you log into your account page, find the Send Money tab at the top. That takes you to another page where you fill in the person’s email (Paypal ID) and the amount to send. Under that you’ll see a box with 2 tabs: Purchase or Personal. Choose the one marked Personal, which will give you more choices (gift, payment owed, etc.). I usually choose Payment Owed. Hit Send. The person you are sending money to will not pay any fees to receive the money.
