Does PayPal business charge a fee

PayPal Business does not charge a fee to open or maintain the account, but it does charge a fee on each transaction when customers pay you.

• Account opening: Signing up for a PayPal Business account costs nothing.
• Monthly costs: There is no subscription fee, setup charge or cancellation charge to keep the account active.
• Minimum balance: A PayPal Business account does not require you to hold any set amount of money.
• Transaction fees: PayPal takes a fee each time a customer pays you, and the amount varies with the type of payment and the countries or currencies involved.

Because the charges sit on transactions rather than on the account itself, the PayPal pricing that applies to a business depends on how its customers pay and which countries and currencies are part of each sale. Businesses can check the transaction rates listed for their own country on the official PayPal site when they register.
