PayPal lets you pay anyone with an email address and is the world's #1 online payment service -- it's accepted on over 3 million eBay (TM) auctions and thousands of online shops. You can also use PayPal to pay your friends; it's a convenient way to split the phone bill with your roommate or send cash to someone in another country.
When you send money
through PayPal, you can fund your payments with your credit card or checking
account. You won't have to worry about
your privacy, because PayPal keeps your account information safe.
Making a purchase with PayPal is more secure than mailing a check or giving
your credit card number to a stranger. That's why over 10 million people from
around the world use PayPal to move money.
International
Transaction Fee (Outside US)
PayPal charges a fee when currency is converted to or from U.S. dollars. This
occurs when you send money, unless you make the payment using your PayPal balance,
as well as when you withdraw money from the PayPal system. The current fee is
2.6% of the amount plus $0.30 per transaction. This fee covers accepting payments
from cards outside the U.S., increased risk and resultant costs for international
transactions, and increased customer service communication costs as well as
any associated currency fees.
