<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 8014168, member: 120820&quot;]This is why PayPal, by default, converts the foreign amount to dollars (at it&#039;s own conversion rate), then asks you to pay that dollar amount. Don&#039;t do that!</p><p><br /></p><p>The best way to use PayPal for foreign transactions is use your credit card as source of funds, then when paying click on &quot;conversion options&quot; (under the payment amount), and change the default to instead pay in the payee&#039;s local currency (EUR/GBP/etc). If you do this, then the payment will be charged to your credit card as a foreign transaction, and you&#039;ll get your card&#039;s conversion rate (not PayPal&#039;s).</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it helps if you have a credit card that doesn&#039;t charge foreign transaction fees (and cashback doesn&#039;t hurt either!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
