Pick a PayPal deposit. On the Buy tab, filter for deposits that accept PayPal. Each listing shows the seller's rate, available USDC amount, and accepted currencies. Sellers typically offer spreads of 1-3% above the market rate.
Send payment via PayPal. Signal your intent to buy, then send the exact fiat amount to the seller's PayPal email address. PeerAuth captures a cryptographic proof of the payment automatically.
Receive USDC. After on-chain verification of the payment proof, the smart contract releases USDC to your wallet. Network fees on Base are under $0.01.

PayPal-specific tips

Before you start Make sure you have enough balance in PayPal or a linked bank account. The seller's listing will show their PayPal email address for payment. Double-check the address matches exactly before sending.

Use "Sending to a friend" when the seller specifies it. Goods and services payments have higher fees for the recipient. Most sellers on USDCtoFiat accept friends and family payments.
Fund from your PayPal balance or bank account. Credit card and debit card funding adds fees on top.
PayPal is available in over 200 countries, making it the most globally accessible payment method on USDCtoFiat alongside Wise.
The PeerAuth verification checks the precise payment amount. Rounding errors or partial payments will fail verification.

PayPal vs. PayPal's built-in crypto

PayPal launched its own stablecoin, PYUSD, in August 2023. While you can buy and hold PYUSD inside PayPal, it comes with significant limitations compared to buying USDC through USDCtoFiat.

Feature	USDCtoFiat + PayPal	PayPal built-in crypto
Token	USDC (Circle)	PYUSD (PayPal)
Custody	Your wallet (non-custodial)	PayPal holds keys
KYC required	No	Yes
Withdraw to external wallet	Already in your wallet	Restricted, requires ID
DeFi compatible	Yes (Base ecosystem)	Limited
Global availability	200+ countries	US and select markets
Total cost	2-4%	1.5-2.3% + spread

The key difference: USDC bought through USDCtoFiat is immediately yours. It sits in your wallet on Base, ready to use in DeFi, send to anyone, or hold. PYUSD through PayPal is custodial. You are subject to PayPal's terms and cannot freely move the tokens.
