What does PayPal charge per transaction

PayPal charges receiving fees that vary by transaction type and currency. For cross-border payments, PayPal typically charges a combination of a percentage fee (around 3% to 5%) plus a fixed fee per transaction, with additional currency conversion charges that can push the total cost higher. The exact rate depends on whether you are receiving money as a friend or family payment, a commercial transaction, or through PayPal's invoicing system.

If you frequently receive international payments as an Indian exporter or freelancer, PayPal pricing can add up quickly compared to alternatives. Skydo, an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform, offers transparent, lower fees and typically faster transfer times, making it a more cost-effective choice for Indian freelancers and businesses receiving payments from clients abroad.
