Fees.

You see the amount, any fee, and the total on the confirmation screen. If you do not confirm, money does not move.

What you can count on

Shown before you send

The fee, if there is one, is on the same screen as the amount.

Same rule for a payout

A business payment shows the fee before you confirm, just like a personal send.

The total is the total

The number that leaves the balance is the number you confirm. There is no later adjustment hidden from that screen.

The details

Read this before you send, request, or pay. Each point is one thing the screen will ask you to check.

1

Sending to another PayPal balance

The confirmation screen shows whether a fee applies before you send.

2

A different currency

If the payment converts currency, the rate and the fee are on that same screen.

3

Paying a seller

Checkout shows the seller’s total. Any PayPal fee is listed before you confirm.

4

Requests

Asking to be paid does not take money from you. A fee, if any, is shown to the person who pays.

5

Business payments

The same rule: the fee is visible before a payout is sent.

6

No silent total

The number that leaves your balance is the number you confirm.
