PayPal fee in different countries

[ithelps]

From my understanding the paypal fee in the usa is 2.9% + .30.

I sent $28.17 so the person can receive $27 but he only received $26.77.
I am sure with 2.9% and 30 cents. That should equates a bit more than 27$. I used a paypal calculator and I gave him 4 cents extra soooo.... is the fee different now?


So the only reasons I can think of is that paypal fees varies per country or he is scamming me for 50 cents. Which one is it?

Could be a currency conversion fee if you sent to another country.

Or maybe they ripped you off $.50.

Fluctuating currency conversion fee may be at play.

Will be down to the currency conversion that PayPal use. This changes hour to hour
