The sender pays Payout fees at transaction time. Fees vary by sending country, are calculated as a percentage of each transaction, and are capped. Typically, the variable component is 2% and the domestic payments cap differs from the international payments cap. For detailed information about payout fees, see the PayPal Merchant Fees page.
The funding PayPal account for a payout request must hold the total payout amount plus any fees in the currency being sent. A payout item has these limits but the maximum total payout amount is unlimited:
| Country | Individual payout maximum | Total payout maximum |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. | $20,000.00 USD | Unlimited |
| Other countries | Up to $20,000.00 USD in your country's local currency | Unlimited |
