How PayPal Fees Work in Australia
PayPal Australia charges 2.6% + A$0.30 per domestic transaction. International transactions cost 3.6% + A$0.30. There are no monthly fees for standard PayPal business accounts in Australia.
Currency conversion incurs an additional fee when your customer pays in a different currency. PayPal applies a conversion rate that includes a spread above the mid-market rate — typically around 3-4%. Settling in AUD when possible helps avoid these extra charges.
