Selling from England to Ireland. Im VERY confused

[sara1971]

Hi I’m hoping someone can help me. I’m confused.

I sell items on EBay and another site. On the other site if someone wants to buy something off me I invoice them for that amount. Simple.

However, I have a lot of friends and family in the Republic of Ireland and I think there may be a market over there for me as well. So let’s say I have an item that is £20.00 and I sell it to someone in the Republic. How do I invoice them?

Obviously they use the Euro. Do I calculate the exchange rate here and then invoice them in pounds for that amount or do I invoice them for the £20.00 and PayPal will automatically do this for me.

As it says above, I’m REALLY confused and if someone can help I would be most grateful.

Invoice them as £20 then they pay in sterling so that is what you receive BUT during the payment process before they click submit paypal will inform them how much in Euros will be deducted from their funding source.
