With one small caveat though. If you send him an invoice, you will have to pick up the 2.9% + $0.30 fee PayPal charges you (Who comes up with these kind of formulae?). If he just uses your e-mail address for a 'Personal' transaction and checks the gift box, no fees are involved if its fully paid using PayPal account (mo credit and/or debit cards involved)! You can read all about it if you look up the PayPal fee structure. You can find that page if you log in to PayPal, select the 'Send Money' tab, click 'Personal', and select the 'When fees apply' link you'll find on the right hand side of your page.
Hope this helps,
