How much are PayPal fees in Australia?

02 Jan 2023

Send money to friends in Australia and around the world quickly and securely. When you use your linked bank account or PayPal balance, it's free within Australia. PayPal makes it easier to pay for everything from Woolworths to Telstra, Uber to Netflix, and Menulog to Australia Post.

PayPal isn't the only option for collecting money from clients or customers. If you want to completely avoid PayPal fees, the only real option is to avoid PayPal entirely and instead open a fee-free bank account.

PayPal charges different fees for payments to friends and family versus payments to businesses for commercial transactions. There are also different payment structures depending on whether the payment is made internationally (from a PayPal account located outside of Australia) or domestically (from an Australian PayPal account).

If you send money from your online PayPal account, a linked bank account, or the PayPal Cash app, the transaction fee is waived. If you pay with your PayPal credit, debit, or credit card, you'll be charged a 2.9% fee plus a 30-cent fixed transaction fee.
