Does PayPal take charges

Yes, PayPal charges fees for receiving international payments. When you receive money from abroad, PayPal typically deducts a transaction fee (around 3% to 5%) plus a currency conversion markup that can be significantly higher than mid-market rates. These combined charges can make PayPal an expensive option for Indian freelancers and exporters who receive payments regularly.

If you want to understand the full breakdown of what you'll pay, check out this PayPal overview to see how the fees stack up.
