    You can’t.

    PayPal fees are set by PayPal and include donations.

    On your transaction it would be 2.9% + 30p = 32.9p fee rounded = 33p so 67p is correct

    https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees

    Charities can apply for a charity account, which has lower fees but not zero.

    PayPal offers non-profits a discounted rate of 1.4% +20p. If you are a registered charity, you’ll need to confirm your charity status at paypal.com/charities/getstarted before you will be given the non-profit rate.

    So the charity rate would be 21.4p on ￡1 = ￡0.78p
