How much does PayPal charge in commission?
Now we are going to learn how dollar transactions work, for example, in PayPal to Argentine or Mexican pesos, since this may involve costs.

PayPal fees in Argentina
PayPal does not charge any fees for transactions between two accounts located in Argentina. PayPal Argentina charges a fee when the transaction involves a currency exchange , for example, from dollars to pesos. In this case, the fee is 4.5%.

If a transfer is made between two of your own accounts in different currencies, there is also a PayPal Argentina commission, but it is 3.5%.

It should be noted that there is a currency restriction for operations in PayPal Argentina and it is based on the fact that all operations are converted to pesos. For this, the exchange rate in effect 72 business hours after payment authorization is taken into account.

Finally, regarding PayPal to Argentine pesos and vice versa, it should be mentioned that there is a limit of $30,000 ARS for Argentine peso accounts. If the currency is dollars, the limit is $10,000 USD.

Does AFIP have access to information about PayPal transactions?
Some people wonder if PayPal informs AFIP about the transactions that occur on the platform . Strictly speaking, we would say no: since PayPal is a platform based abroad, it is outside the AFIP reporting regime.

However, this does not mean that the information does not reach the agency. When transactions involve a bank account (for example, when using PayPal Argentina to withdraw money) AFIP receives the transaction data because banks are required by law to report it .

In these cases, we recommend that you seek advice from a specialist in the subject to be aware of all the conditions and operate with peace of mind within the current regulations.
