What are the fees for PayPal accounts?

We don’t charge any fees to open a PayPal account or download the PayPal app. We do charge fees for the following:   

  1. When you receive payments from a purchase.  
  2. When you receive payments from outside your country or region.  There is a fee when you send a payment to someone in another country or if you receive a payment from someone in another country.
  3. When you convert currencies.

Here's how to view fees applied to any of your payments:

  1. Click Activity  near the top of the page.
  2. Find the transaction you want to check and click on it.

For more information on fees, click Fees at the bottom of any PayPal page.
