Conversely, there is also a cap on the fees that can be charged. PayPal will not exceed $4.99 as a fee for sending money to another PayPal account.

There is a minimum fee applicable to these transactions. Regardless of the transaction amount, users will be charged at least $0.91.

This fee policy ensures that PayPal can cover its operational costs while also providing a relatively low-cost option for users to transfer funds. It balances affordability and convenience.
