    Hello,

    I`m trying to get a gift money from Israeli Paypal (I have an US Paypal - Personal account) and the person who sends to me have some difficulties. First of all, he has a verified account (Primer), when he tries to send me money (450$) he gets an error massage:

    He dosen`t have an lift button or a gift button when he sends me the money (we tried to choose something else and it`s the same).

    what can we do to make this transaction happen?

    Thank you.

    Money Booker or Wire Transfer is also good for international remitances.

    The email you received from PayPal is an automated message. They and their parent company (eBay) are the kings of automated messages and no customer service.
    To get a reply from a real person, try sending one more or two more message (reply to the one they sent you back).

    If you live in the US, sign up for Paymate (it's free to sign up, but you pay fees as a % of transaction value) and get the person to send you money through them (you can just send them your paymate link). They are far more secure than paypal, and they will deposit the money directly to your bank account.

    3% plus 50cents - standard account - if you are from the US.
    Check their rules and eligibility criteria. I am from Australia, and they have different rules (and fees too, the US being the cheapest).
