Does PayPal cost anything to use

PayPal charges fees for most business transactions. When receiving international payments as an Indian freelancer or exporter, you typically pay a currency conversion markup of around 3% to 4% on top of a transaction fee that ranges from 2.5% to 4.4% depending on the amount and source country. Sending money domestically within India is free when funded by a bank account or PayPal balance, but sending internationally or receiving cross-border payments incurs these costs.
