Paypal fee for Canada buying from us seller

[darby242]

Paypal charged $7.00 more than the exchanged Canada / us rate. 

I checked and all I could find was ( if you are in US and buy using PayPal it is free as the buyer). It specified US buyer. That got me looking, nothing was mentioned about a Canadian buyer. Anywhere.  If there is a charge for Canada buyers that would explain why Paypal charged that 7$. 

Can anyone explain.. or is there another reason for the $7.00

As of 5 November 2020:

If money is converted when buying something, paypal charges 4% extra

If money is converted between paypal balances 3% is used

Most credit cards add a 2.5% fee when converting.
