Why was I charged a transaction fee on PayPal

PayPal charges transaction fees when you receive payments because it provides currency conversion, payment processing infrastructure, and fraud protection services. For cross-border payments into India, PayPal typically deducts a percentage-based fee plus a fixed charge per transaction, and its currency conversion markup can add several percentage points to the total cost. You can review PayPal pricing details to understand the full fee structure.

If you are an Indian exporter or freelancer looking to reduce these costs, Skydo offers an RBI-authorised alternative with transparent pricing, competitive exchange rates, and no hidden conversion markups, helping you retain more of what you earn from international clients.
