## Frequently asked questions
### How much is the PayPal fee on $100 in Australia?

$2.90 on a domestic commercial transaction (2.60% + $0.30), so you receive $97.10. Advanced card payments cost $2.05 on the same sale.

### What is the PayPal percentage fee in Australia?

2.60% + a $0.30 fixed fee per domestic commercial transaction. That single rate covers checkout, card and goods-and-services payments in 2026.

### How much does PayPal take from an Australian sale?

On a $50 Australian sale, $1.60 (2.60% + $0.30), leaving $48.40. The effective rate falls as the sale gets bigger, because the $0.30 fixed fee matters less.

### What is PayPal's international fee in Australia?

An extra 1.00% on top of the 2.60% + $0.30 domestic rate. So a $100 sale to a US buyer costs $3.90 in fees.

3% on most transactions involving a currency conversion, including when you receive a payment in another currency.

### Are PayPal friends-and-family payments free in Australia?

Personal payments between friends and family funded by a PayPal balance or bank account are generally free in Australia, but they must not be used for sales: they carry no purchase protection and misusing them breaks PayPal's terms.

Use the 'find what to charge' mode: (target + $0.30) ÷ (1 − rate). Check the card network rules before passing fees on to customers.

### What is PayPal's chargeback fee in Australia?

$15 per chargeback on card transactions.
