How much does PayPal charge to receive money

PayPal charges receiving fees that vary by transaction type and country. For Indian users receiving international payments, PayPal typically deducts a fee of around 4.4% plus a fixed charge per transaction. Commercial payments often incur higher fees, and currency conversion adds another markup of roughly 3% to 4%. These costs can accumulate quickly for freelancers and exporters handling regular cross-border payments.
