Convert back to GBP from USD and remove fee.

[davhyl]

Hi,

I have loaded my paypal account with money (GBP) so that I could convert it to USD, and could then purchase a present for my brother on the BestBuy website using paypal. Clicking through to order, BestBuy won't let me use my paypal account as it is not registered in the USA.

So, it was a waste of time me doing that and now I have a load of USD in my paypal account that I won't use, and it cost me £25 to convert my balance to USD.

Is there a way of canceling the original transaction so I can get my money back as GBP and not pay another extortionate fee?

Thank you

Dave

Why did you bother in the first place?

All you had to do was click to buy the item and select USD and paypal would have automatically converted it for you during the checkout process.

Then when you found out you could not use that site you could just not have gone ahead with the transaction.

You can either use them for another seller that accepts dollars or convert them again (with the fees as you are choosing to convert the funds).
