Unexpected 2.5% fee for sending money to a friend

Beware of transferring money with PayPal! I recently transferred a large amount of money to a friend and had to pay a 2.5% fee. When I talked to the PayPal support people, they pretty much said to check the fee schedule on the home page (which they change at any time they please), and sure enough, it was there. They said I agreed to this when I set up my account (what, 5 years ago?). Anyway, sending money by any other means is probably better than PayPal!
