  Yes, PayPal does charge sales tax on transactions involving cryptocurrencies. Just like any other taxable item or service, if you make a purchase using cryptocurrencies through PayPal, you may be subject to sales tax based on your location and the applicable tax laws. It's important to keep in mind that sales tax rates and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another, so the amount of tax you'll be charged may differ depending on where you are.
