PayPal: Almost a Complete Lie!

I believed PayPal's advertisement of "AS LOW AS $1.50 U.S. TO SEND $300 U.S. TO COUNTRIES ..." and their fee calculator told me that sending $450.00 to China costs $2.25.

Great!

It turns out, what they does not tell me is that, the recipient will have to pay to get the money, as your money only ends up in the recipient's PayPal account. To get the money into a bank account in China, it has to be done through money transfer, for which PayPal charges a fee of $35.00.

I call that "almost a complete lie!"
