How to calculate Paypal seller fees
If you’re purchasing goods and services in the US, you don’t pay any fees for using Paypal.
If you’re selling goods or services you’re charged both a percentage of the transaction and a fixed fee.
If you’re selling in the US, you’re charged2.9%of the transaction amount plus a$0.30 USDflat fee (this amount isbased on the currencyof the payment). For example, a payment of50美元will be charged$1.75 USDprocessing fee ($1.45 + $0.30). This means in the end, your payout will include$48.25of the transaction.
When receiving payments from outside of the US, you’re charged4.4%of the transaction plus a fixed fee based on the currency.
