PayPal Fee Calculator

Almost everywhere today you can pay on the Internet with PayPal - for example, in various online shops, on ebay classifieds, eBay, Amazon, and much more. The payment system ensures that you can make purchases faster, easier and safer. Unlike payment by credit card or debit card, payment by PayPal does not require the card details to be provided for each transfer. With PayPal, you only provide this information once when setting up your account. As a private individual, there are no charges for purchasing or selling via PayPal. Fees are only payable when you use a credit card or transfer money abroad when paying. However, if you sell your goods to retailers as merchants, you will be charged with receiving the payment. If you look more closely at the eBay fee overview, you quickly realize how complex the composition of the fees really is. It's usually time-consuming and inaccurate to calculate the fees for each of your payments individually. With our PayPal Fee Calculator, you can easily figure out what fees you'll be charged and always keep track of your PayPal costs.
