How to send money overseas through PayPal

To send money overseas through PayPal, log into your PayPal account, select "Send & Request," enter the recipient's email or mobile number, choose the currency and amount, and confirm the transaction. PayPal applies a currency conversion fee (typically around 3% to 4%) and may charge additional transfer fees depending on the payment method and destination country. The recipient must also have a PayPal account to receive funds.

For Indian businesses and freelancers sending or receiving international payments, it's worth reviewing a PayPal overview to understand how it compares to other options. Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform, often provides faster processing times and more transparent pricing for cross-border transactions, with competitive forex rates and no hidden charges. Unlike PayPal, Skydo is purpose-built for Indian exporters and freelancers, making compliance and currency exchange simpler for regular international business payments.
