Common questions about PayPal fees and transaction costs
PayPal fees typically consist of a percentage fee (2.9% for domestic transactions) plus a fixed fee ($0.30 for most transactions). The exact rate depends on transaction type, location, and payment method.
Domestic PayPal transactions (within the same country) typically charge 2.9% + $0.30, while international transactions charge 4.4% + $0.30. Rates may vary by country and currency.
Sending money to friends and family is usually free when funded by a bank account or PayPal balance. There may be fees when using credit cards or for international transfers.
For transactions under $10, PayPal offers a micropayment rate of 5% + $0.05, which can be more cost-effective than standard rates for small amounts.
You can minimize fees by using bank transfers instead of credit cards, choosing friends & family for personal payments, or negotiating merchant rates for high-volume businesses.
