Minor editorial changes to some convenience translations of the Consumer Fee Page and Merchant Fee Page
Effective 28 May 2024:

We are making some typographical corrections to some fee pages that have been translated into languages other than English for the convenience of our customers. For the avoidance of doubt, the Table of Fees contained in the PayPal User Agreement prevails in all cases:

  • in the Czech language translation of the Consumer Fee Page, in the section entitled “Výběr zůstatku z osobního účtu PayPal”, removing the letters “(GI)” from the row called “Karty”.
  • in the Greek language translation of the Consumer Fee Page, in the section entitled “Αποστολή και λήψη πληρωμών” we are adding the sentence “Οι χρεώσεις που σχετίζονται με προσωπικές συναλλαγές αναφέρονται παρακάτω”. This sentence translates in English to “The fees for personal transactions are listed below”.
  • in the Greek language translation of the Consumer Fee Page, in the section entitled “CY, EE, LI, LT, LV, MT, SK και SM: Σταθερή χρέωση για μεταφορά σε κάρτα”, removing the row “Ρούβλι Ρωσίας 150,00 RUB” which has been inadvertently published in duplicate.
  • in the Greek language translation of the Merchant Fee Page, in the table entitled “Βασική χρέωση για τη λήψη εγχώριων δωρεών”, adding the letters “(GR)” after the phrase “PayPal Fundraisers (Εμφανιζόμενοι έρανοι) για την Ελλάδα”; and in the table called “Ανάληψη υπολοίπου από επιχειρηματικό λογαριασμό PayPal”, in the row “Τραπεζικός λογαριασμός ΗΠΑ” replacing the letters “BG, RO και SI” with “BG, CY, LI, RO”.
  • in the Slovakian language translation of the Consumer Fee Page, in the section entitled “Posielanie a prijímanie platieb”, adding the sentence “Ďalej uvádzame sadzby za osobné transakcie”. This sentence translates in English to “The fees for personal transactions are listed below”.
  • in the Slovakian language translation of the Merchant Fee Page, in the table entitled “CY, EE, LI, LT, LV, MT, SK a SM – fixný poplatok za prevod na kartu”, adding the row “Marocký dirham 24,00 MAD”.
