What are the cross-border fees when selling internationally?
PayPal allows sellers to accept payments from buyers in other countries, offering a convenient and secure solution for international transactions. When receiving payments in different currencies or from foreign accounts, specific fees may apply depending on the type of transaction and the currency involved.
International purchase payments are subject to cross-border fees. They’re paid by the recipient of the payment. Cross border fees apply because multicurrency payments involve additional costs.
International Purchase Payments:
- If you receive an international payment for a purchase, you’re charged a standard fee, plus an additional fixed fee. The fixed fee is based on the currency of the payment. Please visit our Fees page for more information.
- It’s free to send payments for your purchases, even for some international payments. Some fees may apply if PayPal performs a currency conversion to complete your payment. Your financial institution may charge fees directly to the card you use to fund a cross-border payment even where no currency conversion is involved.
