I'll be sending money internationally to a friend via PayPal and want to ensure they receive the intended amount after conversion. How can I ensure that?

When you use PayPal to send money to a friend in another country, make sure they get the right amount after the currency conversion:

• Pay attention to the fees. PayPal takes a fixed fee, which is usually a percentage of the amount sent, and a margin on the exchange rate when changing currencies. You can look at their fees table to see the exact rates for each sending and receiving currency.

• "Send Money to Friends and Family" is the choice to make when sending money to someone outside of the United States. It usually gives you a better exchange rate than "Pay for Goods or Services." But make sure that your friend plans to use the money in a way that fits this category so that they don't break PayPal's rules.
