# What are the PayPal Fees for Paying Contractors Using Our PayPal Business Account?

Hello Everyone,

We are planning to use our PayPal Business Account **exclusively** for paying our contractors. Payments will originate from our business bank account, which is linked to our PayPal Business Account. However, despite our thorough research, we haven’t found a clear list of the fees that PayPal might charge to our contractors when we make these payments.

We understand that PayPal primarily takes fees from the sender side, but we want to ensure absolute clarity on both our side and our contractors’ sides. Additionally, given that our contractors are in different countries, understanding the potential international transaction fees is crucial.

Here are a few questions we need answers for:

1. **Fees Charged to the Recipient (Contractors)**: Are there any fees taken by PayPal from the recipients (contractors) when they receive payments from our PayPal Business Account?

2. **Variable vs. Fixed Fees**: Are the fees charged to recipients (contractors) fixed or variable, and if variable, what determines their variability (e.g., country, amount, etc.)?

3. **International Transactions**: If our contractors are residing in different countries, are there additional fees for international transactions, and if so, how do these fees affect the recipients?

4. **Currency Conversion Fees**: Are there any fees related to currency conversion when payments are made in different currencies?

We have looked through PayPal’s documentation and forums, but the information on fees charged to the recipient is somewhat sparse. We would greatly appreciate it if anyone in a similar situation or someone knowledgeable about PayPal’s fee structure could provide some insight or point us to the relevant documentation.

If PayPal has a detailed document or FAQ that outlines these fees, pointing us to that would be incredibly helpful. Your expertise on this matter would be really valuable to us as we finalise our payment processes.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Warm regards,
