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 its own 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.
Last Updated: 01, January 2023
You can find details about changes to our rates and fees and when they will apply on our Policy Updates Page. You can also view these changes by clicking ‘Legal’ at the bottom of any web-page and then selecting ‘Policy Updates’. We have removed the references to Croatian Kuna (HRK) as a result of Croatia joining the Eurozone on January 1, 2023.
Domestic: A transaction occurring when both the sender and receiver are registered with or identified by PayPal as residents in the European Economic Area (EEA).
International: A transaction occurring when the sender and receiver are registered with or identified by PayPal as residents of different markets. Certain countries are grouped together when calculating international transaction rates. For a listing of our groupings, please access our Market/Region Grouping Table.
International euro (EUR) or Swedish krona (SEK) transactions where both the sender and the receiver are registered with or identified by PayPal as resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) are treated as domestic transactions for the purpose of applying fees.
