How much will I be charged?

[RustyMc]

I am paying for a holiday villa in the US and the renter requests to use paypal.  I have an account as do they.  I have their email account to pay but wondered how much the fees will be (got little confused when looking over the fees).

The total purchase will be $1673.  My account is in pounds so I guess I will get charged a conversion fee? Are there any other fees I will encounter?

My credit card I have linked to my account gives me a good exchange rate with no fees, could I link the transaction direct to me card so no fees are encountered?

Hi RustyMc,

Welcome to PayPal UK community page.

It's free to use your PayPal balance, bank account or debit card to send a personal payment if no currency conversion is involved. It's also free to use PayPal to buy something, unless it involves a currency conversion.

We charge fees when:

•    You receive a payment for a sale. The fee depends on how much you sell, so the more you sell, the less you pay.
•    You send a personal payment using a credit card

Additional fees apply for currency conversion and cross-border payments.

Separate pricing structures exist for not-for-profit organisations, Micropayments and PayPal Heretm . For further details, visit our Fees page. Go to www.paypal.co.uk, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Fees.

Here’s how to view fees applied to a particular payment:

1.    Click Activity and locate the payment.
2.    Select the payment to open the 'Transactions Details' page.

I hope this info helps. Thanks for posting!

Thanks Arda

Just to confirm then, if I send $1673 from my paypal balance to the recipient in the US from the myself in the UK I would be charged 1% cross border fee plus 3% conversation fee? so in effect an additional $67?

Havent sent payment yet so cant check out what the fees were, just trying to work out up front how much extra I will pay.

Hi RustyMc,

Yes, that's about right.

However, we'll display a full breakdown of the conversion before you choose to complete your payment.

I hope that helps RustyMc and have a great weekend
