Paypal is still charging the fees. It is just Global that is paying the fees. They do the math before hand and increase the amount they pay in order to hit the number you asked for in your cashout, or maybe Paypal has a feature that takes care of that, not sure. With that said, the PayPal fees really haven't disappeared, even though we don't see them coming from our cash outs.
Other transactions between people are done as a "friend transfer" or "gift" or something like that to avoid PayPal fees when say you buy something off of criagslist.
But when a business like Global starts getting the volume they are getting, there is no way PayPal will be like "Yep, just a bunch of gifts, no fees" PayPal is a business, they are in it to make money, as it turns out.
As far as a "refund" I wouldn't mind that at all, but I also don't think it is going to happen.
