PayPal Consumer Fees
Buying and sending money can be easy, fast, and secure when using PayPal.
In an effort to provide customers access to critical funds, PayPal will be temporarily waiving some of its fees for customers sending funds to Ukrainian PayPal accounts or receiving funds into Ukrainian PayPal accounts until further notice. Exchange rates or fees charged by a customer's card issuer or bank may still apply. Please see the fees for Ukrainian personal accounts page and this Help Center article for updates and more information about our services for Ukrainian customers.

Selling with PayPal
When you buy or sell goods or services, make any other commercial type of transaction, send or receive a charity donation or receive a payment when you “request money” using PayPal, we call that a “commercial transaction”.
For the listings of selling rates, please visit our PayPal Merchant Fees Page.
Sending and receiving money
When you send money (initiated from the “Friends and Family” tab of the “Send Money” flow) to, or receive money into your PayPal account from, friends and family without making an underlying commercial transaction (that is, the payment is not for the purchase of goods or services or for making any other commercial transaction), we call that a “personal transaction”.
The rates relating to personal transactions are set out below.
Sending domestic personal transactions
| Rate |
|---|
| No Fee (when no currency conversion is involved) |
Sending international personal transactions
| Rate | Minimum/Maximum |
|---|---|
| 5.00% of the transaction amount | The minimum fee is 1.99 EUR and the maximum fee is 3.99 EUR |
Fees charged in different currencies for sending payments: We will collect the fee from balance in the currency in which the fee is payable. To do this, we may need to convert the fee amount from your sending balance into the currency in which the fee is payable, in which case the fees for “Conversions in all other cases” also apply.
Receiving personal transactions

| No Fee (when no currency conversion is involved) |
