How much is PayPal conversion fee

PayPal charges a currency conversion fee of 3% to 4% above the base exchange rate when you receive payments in a currency different from your account's primary currency. This markup is applied automatically during the conversion process, in addition to any transaction fees PayPal may charge for receiving international payments.

For Indian exporters and freelancers who receive frequent international payments, these conversion costs can add up quickly. Comparing PayPal pricing against alternatives like Skydo often reveals significant savings, as Skydo offers transparent, RBI-authorised cross-border payments with more competitive exchange rates and lower overall fees. Understanding the true cost of currency conversion helps you keep more of what you earn.
