Hi @supernova7077,
Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting. Like @sharpiemarker said, we charge you a small fee for personal transfers that come from abroad, a debit or credit card, or when receiving a payment for a sale. PayPal was originally designed as a service for individuals - people who might need to collect money for a group gift or transfer funds between friends. We will always continue to provide this service, however there are also real costs associated with providing our service - particularly costs associated with processing credit card payments. Visa, MasterCard and American Express charge us for every payment we process, and we need to pass this fee on to sellers to cover our costs. For full details about the fees for receiving different currencies, please log in to your account and click Fees at the bottom of the page. Fees will be charged in the currency of the payment. Detaching financial details from a PayPal account wouldn't be something I'd recommend, and this wouldn't affect how fees are applied.
I hope this helps,
Intars
