Hi community!

 

I sent for the first time money internationally and I'm struggling to understand the fees structure.

From the paypal fees page https://www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees

paying from an AU Account I can see the following fees:

 

Sending international personal transactions

5.00%

  • a minimum charge of 0.99 AUD
  • a maximum charge of 5.99 AUD

 

 

 

I sent 15,026.42 MXN

and Paypal took a fee of 780MXN (which matches with the 5% on the top of the information)

My question is that how does the 'maximum charge of 5.99AUD applies?

780MXN are about 50AUD.  (which is considerable).

 

Does anyone understand how the 'maximun charge' applies?

Thanks all!!!
