About PayPal Fees

Standard (Goods & Services): The default fee for most online sales in the US — 3.49% of the transaction plus a flat $0.49. This applies when buyers use the "Goods & Services" option, giving them purchase protection.

International / Cross-border: When your buyer is outside your home country, PayPal adds an additional cross-border fee, typically bringing the total to 4.99% + $0.49. Exchange rate margins may also apply.

QR Code (In-person): PayPal's discounted rate for face-to-face transactions using QR codes — just 1.90% + $0.10, making it competitive with traditional POS terminals.

Micropayments: For transactions under $10, PayPal offers an optional micropayment rate of 5.00% + $0.05. This can be more economical than the standard fee for very small amounts; your account must be enabled for it.

Fees shown are estimates based on publicly published PayPal rates and may vary by account type, country, or promotional pricing. Always confirm current rates in your PayPal account settings.
