Yes. In the UK, fees are 3.4% + 20p per transaction. If he sends it as a gift, between friends, you might be able to avoid the fees, but that could trigger a red flag at PayPal. Just because they advertise PayPal as being good for that, does not mean that they actually want you to do it.

Definitely.
