Cryptocurrency on PayPal – Fees

Are there any fees?

When you buy or sell cryptocurrency, we will disclose an exchange rate and the transaction fee you will be charged for that transaction. The exchange rate may include a margin that PayPal earns on each purchase and sale and conversion between your electronic money in pounds sterling and the relevant cryptocurrency which is purchased in US dollars. For further details on the exchange rate and cryptocurrency fees that will apply click here.

Buying and selling cryptocurrency is subject to a number of risks and may result in significant losses and the loss of all the money you have paid for it. Please see our disclosure here for more information.

If you use a linked bank account or debit card as a funding source to buy Crypto Assets, your bank may charge you its own fees, including overdraft fees or insufficient fund fees, if applicable. PayPal isn't responsible for any fees that may be charged to you by your bank. You can find more information on PayPal  Fees  page.
