PayPal Consumer Fees
Buying and sending money can be easy, fast, and secure when using PayPal.
In an effort to provide customers access to critical funds, PayPal will be temporarily waiving some of its fees for customers sending funds to Ukrainian PayPal accounts or receiving funds into Ukrainian PayPal accounts until further notice. Exchange rates or fees charged by a customer's card issuer or bank may still apply. Please see the fees for Ukrainian personal accounts page and this Help Center article for updates and more information about our services for Ukrainian customers.
