Hi, 

PayPal fee is 86 SEK. I would like to know, based on what, you calculate the fee.
To reduce the fee, what is the work around we can do.

Thanks,
Sameea [removed].

That appears to be a currency conversion charge. 

check:

 

https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/preferences/payments

 

and see if your chosen method of receiving funds is:

 

Accept all payments and convert all to SEK. Additional charges apply.

 

If you have that checked, that is the reason for the charges, you may want to review the other options there and see if one of them suits you better.

Hello @Temp20240121X and @Grimreepr,

Thanks for visiting the PayPal Community, and welcome @Temp20240121X

I understand you have a fee on your recent transaction, and you're unsure why, @Temp20240121X. I'm sorry to hear of the confusion it caused. When opening your transaction details within your PayPal Activity, you may be able to expand the fee to find out more. I suggest checking out this Help Center article and our Fees Page to learn more about PayPal fees and how to calculate them. 

I absolutely agree with @Grimreepr, reviewing your payment receiving preferences can help prevent some potential fees due to to currency conversions. Thanks for sharing that great information! 

Have a beautiful day! 

- Meghan
