Sending to Aus from UK - recipient charges

[3DFrank]

Hi there

I've taken a look through the forums and the fees section of PayPal, but just wanted to double check with the community.

I'll be sending GBP to Australia which will convert to AUS their end. I want to make sure they receive the full amount, so I will click friends and family - however the charge is only £5. It says they will receive £500 GBP. 

Will the recipient still have to pay a currency conversion charge, and how can I calculate that to add on? Is it just the 4% fee mentioned here in the table for AUD?

Thanks!

Why don't you just send them Australian dollars??

Hmm indeed - the conversion fee is charged this end 🙂

Thanks!

Well i was just checking to make sure you knew you could pay in their currency.

Guess you don't want me to help with the rest then, so hope it works out for you.
