(Pro Tips)855_848_0127~ How to Receive Money on PayPal

If you want to receive money on PayPal, in most cases, all you have to do is give the sender your email address or phone number. They can send you money using either of these details, and PayPal will send a message telling you that it’s available.

Then you can access your money if you log in to your PayPal account, then transfer it to your bank account or keep them in PayPal.

How Long Does It Take to Receive Money with PayPal?
It depends on the source of the money you are receiving. If the sender is giving you money from a PayPal balance or a debit or credit card, any funds should reach your account within a few minutes.

If the money is coming from a linked bank account, it may take between two or three business days depending on your bank since it has to clear the bank itself.¹

Because of this, it’s sometimes slower to receive money through PayPal compared to a normal bank transfer.

How to Receive Money Through PayPal Without an Account?

However, you’ll need to set up a PayPal account to be able to claim the money.

PayPal Fees for Receiving Money
When you receive an international transfer, PayPal charges a fixed fee for personal transactions (based on currency received).² For example, receiving Euros would cost 0.35 EUR. While this fee is paid by the sender, you’ll receive less money as a result.

Also, when you transfer money internationally, exchange fees can also come into play. By adding a markup to the mid-market rate, PayPal can significantly increase the fees the sender will pay.
