Fees to receive cash - I'm having a nightmare understanding them - please take pity and help!

I have never used Paypal to receive money before and I am really confused.

 

I have done a freelance job for a lovely client in China. The job price was £700 GBP, she will be paying in Yuan.  She has asked me about paying with Paypal.

 

I have been searching to see how much extra she needs to pay to cover the fees for the service, and I'm having a nightmare understand the system!

 

It seems like she needs to pay 3 times over - a transaction fee, a cross-border fee, and a currency conversion fee.  I cannot for the life of me work out the total.

 

I would be SO grateful for help/advice from more experienced members of the community.  I am virtually in tears, having spent hours trying to understand.

You risk your paypal account being limited if you ask buyers to pay your seller fees.

If you are a User resident in the UK, you shall not surcharge for the use of PayPal.
