What is PayPal, and can Ukrainians use it?
PayPal is an online payment service; Ukrainian accounts can send and receive personal payments and withdraw to an eligible 
Mastercard or Visa card. These personal transfers are known as Friends & Family.
Accounts registered in Ukraine support USD, EUR, GBP and CAD. If you live abroad, check the services available in your account’s country of registration. AUD routes listed by exchangers do not establish that a Ukrainian account can hold Australian dollars.
Wallet currencies and withdrawal options help determine whether a service fits your intended payment. Compare these features before choosing where to receive funds.
| Service | Wallet currencies | Withdrawals |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | USD, EUR, GBP and CAD for Ukrainian accounts | To an eligible Mastercard or Visa card |
| Skrill | Balances in several currencies | To a bank account or payment method in your own name |
Match the payout currency to your account’s capabilities. The payment systems directory lists other services you can compare.
What are PayPal’s rules for crypto-related payments?
Crypto-related payments are governed by PayPal’s terms, which you should check before transferring money. Review the rules for personal payments and payments for goods or services as they apply to your intended transaction.
PayPal’s own crypto buying and selling service is for customers in the US and its territories. Crypto sent from that service to an external wallet cannot be cancelled.
An exchanger’s offer does not establish that PayPal permits the payment. Check the payment system’s terms before placing an order.
The exchangers listed on OnExchanger are independent services. They handle these swaps and set their order terms; the payment system’s account rules still apply.
Which crypto routes to PayPal can I compare?
The listings cover both payments from your account and payouts into it. Choose the asset, network and account currency that match the transfer you intend to make.
For a crypto sale, these routes lead to offers for specific payout currencies. Open the relevant pair to compare exchangers:
USDC ERC20 to PayPal USD for a US dollar payout.
Bitcoin to PayPal EUR for a euro payout.
Ethereum to PayPal GBP for a payout in pounds sterling.- Bitcoin to PayPal AUD for an Australian dollar payout.
If you want to sell 
USDT or Monero for a PayPal payout, check whether the exact pair appears in the current listings. The ERC20 link above is for USDC; a network name alone does not identify the token.
How does a crypto swap involving PayPal work?
You place the order with your chosen exchanger, which takes payment and sends the payout. OnExchanger compares offers but does not hold your funds or carry out the swap.
Check PayPal’s rules and the exchanger’s terms before proceeding. The payment steps then depend on whether you are selling or buying crypto:
- Select the direction and enter your amount. Compare the amount you would receive, the order limits and the available reserve.
- Open the exchanger’s website and create an order. Enter your own payment account details for a money payout, or your wallet address to receive crypto.
- When selling crypto, send it to the address in the order using the specified network. The exchanger waits for network confirmations before paying the account you provided.
- When buying crypto, pay from your account as instructed in the order. The exchanger sends the crypto to the wallet address you entered.
Use the details supplied for that order. Before paying, check whether the rate is fixed or floating under the exchanger’s terms.
What should I check before using PayPal with an exchanger?
Check your PayPal account details, the crypto network and the exchanger’s verification requirements. Some exchangers ask for AML/KYC checks or proof that the payment account is in your own name.
Compare the order with the account and wallet you plan to use. Check each detail before sending funds:
- Match the payout currency and account details to the order.
- Confirm that the sending network matches the order’s network. For USDT, consult the guide to choosing a USDT network.
- Read the service’s terms and the guide to checking a crypto exchanger before sending funds.
If ownership documents are required, clarify what the exchanger needs before paying. Requirements belong to the individual service.
