cross currency payments

I am trying to make payments in different currencies. How do I figure out whether I can make payments out in certain currencies (and related fees)?

 

Also how can I add credit cards under non USD currencies for easier use (less fees and translation loss) in non-USD situations?

 

Thanks,

if you open a Paypal account in USA,your local currency is US $.

linking a card issued by a foreign entity,you could end up with more conversion fees .

Paypal will show you how much it would cost you when you want to make payment in a foreign currency ,there is a 3% conversion fee you will pay .

not sure if you can link a card issued by a non US institution in non US currency,if it does link,Paypal may  do a conversion from that currency t o US currency ,then your card issuer will convert it back to its currency.

dont be a smart **bleep** and complicate your life,keep it simple.
