How much does PayPal charge for payments

PayPal charges a combination of fees for receiving international payments in India. When freelancers and exporters receive cross-border payments, PayPal typically deducts a transaction fee of around 4.4% plus a fixed fee, along with a currency conversion markup that can add another 3% to 4% on top of the mid-market rate. Withdrawal fees to Indian bank accounts may also apply.
