Hi Deb612,

 

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

 

When you are making a payment that is in the same currency as the balance you hold it will always be used first. If you balance is in another currency you can change this in order to make a payment. This is how:

  1. Go to www.paypal.com/uk and log in to your account.
  2. Click PayPal balance.
  3. Click Manage currencies.
  4. Under 'Currency Exchange' (in the right panel) enter the amount you want to convert.
  5. Select the currency to convert the funds from.
  6. Select the currency to convert the funds to.
  7. Click Calculate to see the currency conversion.
  8. Click Continue to review the transfer.
  9. Click Exchange Currency to confirm the transfer.

I hope this helps.

Rachael
