How does PayPal works? Let's understand it in sections.

Purchase Fees:

If you use PayPal to make a purchase through a retailer, you may be charged a fee. The fee is typically a percentage of the total transaction amount, and it is paid to PayPal. For example, if you use PayPal to purchase a $100 item from a retailer, you may be charged a $3 fee.

Transfer Fees:

If you use PayPal to send money to another person, you may be charged a fee. The fee is typically a percentage of the total transaction amount, and it is paid to PayPal. For example, if you use PayPal to send $100 to another person, you may be charged a $2 fee.

Currency Conversion Fees:

If you use PayPal to make a purchase in a currency other than the currency you have set as your PayPal balance, you may be charged a fee. The fee is typically a percentage of the total transaction amount, and it is paid to PayPal. For example, if you use PayPal to purchase a $100 item from a retailer in Euros, you may be charged a $4 fee.

For businesses, there are two main types of PayPal fees: transaction fees and merchant account fees.
