He goes to send money > friends / family option > puts in the amount he owes you and selects USD from the drop down list > before he clicks to pay you it tells him how much in his own currency will be deducted from his funding source.

 

If he funds it from his bank account via instant bank transfer then its cheaper than a card, but he will pay a small currency conversion fee.

 

FEES are located bottom of every paypal page.
