How much percentage PayPal charges

PayPal typically charges 3% to 4.4% plus a fixed fee per transaction for receiving international payments, depending on the currency and transaction type. For Indian freelancers and exporters, these fees can add up quickly, especially when combined with unfavorable exchange rates that often include an additional markup of 3% to 4% above the mid-market rate.

If you want a clearer breakdown of what you'll actually pay, check the PayPal pricing structure and compare it with alternatives. Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, offers more transparent pricing with competitive exchange rates and lower fees, helping you keep more of what you earn from cross-border transactions.
