Chargeback Fees

For transactions that are not processed either through a buyer’s PayPal account or through a guest checkout (PayPal Plus), we assess a settlement fee to sellers for credit and debit card transaction chargebacks (a chargeback may occur when a buyer rejects or reverses a charge on his or her card through the card issuer).

The chargeback fee is based on the currency received as follows:

Currency Conversions

When transactions require a currency conversion, PayPal engages a licensed bank to perform the currency conversion. For information about currency conversion, please see the user agreement.

The exchange rate is determined based on rates available in the wholesale currency market and PayPal applies the Currency Conversion Fee to the exchange rate. The fee depends on the type of currency conversion, as follows:

Conversion of payments when received in another currency

Includes Mass Payments:

Rate
3.50% above the base exchange rate (to form the transaction exchange rate)

Conversions in all other cases

Rates for all other currency conversions (e.g. when sending payments not in BRL):

Rate
4.50% above the base exchange rate (to form the transaction exchange rate)
