What does PayPal charge to send money

PayPal charges depend on whether you are sending money domestically or internationally. For personal transactions within the same country funded by a bank account or PayPal balance, there is typically no fee, but credit or debit card funding incurs around 2.9% plus a fixed fee. For international transfers, PayPal applies a transaction fee of roughly 3% to 5% plus a currency conversion markup that can add another 3% to 4%, making cross-border payments relatively expensive.

Indian freelancers and exporters receiving payments from abroad often find PayPal pricing less competitive compared to specialized platforms like Skydo, which is RBI-authorised and offers transparent, lower-cost international payment collection with faster processing times and better exchange rates, helping you keep more of what you earn.
