Sell USDC for British Pound (GBP) through PayPal.
PayPal GBP pays your PayPal.me in pounds through the checkout flow buyers already know. Choose it when PayPal is your preferred surface over a UK bank app. Fiat moves directly between buyer and seller through PayPal; the USDC leg settles through ZKP2P smart contracts on Base.

Use your PayPal.me username, not your email. PayPal Business accounts are not supported; PayPal governs account rules and limits.

Does USDCtoFiat hold my funds?
No. You sign every transaction from your own wallet. Your USDC is locked in a public Base contract and releases to the buyer only after their payment is proven. You can withdraw any unfilled deposit at any time.
Can I sell USDC for GBP on PayPal?
Yes. Create a Base deposit, choose PayPal and GBP, and a buyer pays your PayPal.me username (not your email). Whether a specific payment reaches you depends on your PayPal account, region, and limits.
How fast does a deposit fill?
Fill speed depends on buyer demand for your payment method, currency, and rate. Liquid routes like USD via Venmo or Cash App, or EUR/GBP via Revolut or Wise, move fastest. You can withdraw unfilled deposits whenever you want.
