Buying with a UK Credit Card, from Germany, through Pay Pal!!!

[paul9927]

Hi, I would like to buy from a German seller in Euros from my UK credit card through my Pay Pal account - How best can I do this and what are the charges likely to be?

Any help from previous experiences would be much appreciated as I don'y want to pay loads in various fees!

Hey there, if you make an international payment using PayPal, we calculate the conversion rate, as the payment will be going from GBP to EURO. If you use your credit or debit card, you can choose to use your card issuer’s conversion rate instead of ours.

Here’s how to change your conversion rate when you’re making a payment:

1. Click ‘Other Conversion Options’ under ‘Payment Method’ on the ‘Review your payment and send’ page.
2. Choose ‘Use PayPal's conversion process’ or ‘Bill me in the currency listed.’
3. Click ‘Submit.’

You can see our conversion rate under ‘Payment Method’ on the ‘Review your payment and send’ page.

If you choose 'Invoice me in the currency listed,' your card issuer determines the foreign exchange rate that applies to this payment. We will not be able to advise you of the rate at the time of payment but you will be able to find it on your credit card statement next to the purchase.
