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.

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
