Save time and money with Wise Business.

Are you an eBay seller dealing with suppliers overseas? Or taking international payments with PayPal on eBay? Do you want to save money on international transactions like paying invoices and purchasing stock in other currencies?

With Wise Business, settle supplier invoices and bill customers abroad using the mid-market exchange rate, and with no sneaky hidden fees. Just fast, simple international payments, which are 3x cheaper than PayPal.

If you’re selling on eBay with PayPal, and you receive payments from a different country or currency, PayPal adds a markup to the exchange rate, which means you might get less than you expect when you withdraw your PayPal balance.

Avoid PayPal currency fees by withdrawing your balance to the Wise multi-currency account and make more from international sales.

It’s worth noting that eBay will charge these fees even if your item doesn’t sell - and you’ll be charged again if you choose to relist your item.
