how do i stop paypal from automatically converting payments to my home currency

[vadalus]

Hi,

I see many pages offering steps on how to change the default settings to stop paypal doing FX transactions at their awful rates, however when i follow these get to the 'manage my funding' section and see my list of cards, i see no options to change currency defaults.

We all know Paypal makes more from FX than payments but i would like the option to opt-out of this please!

Payments will come through in whichever currency you've got set up as your Primary one. To change this:

1. On your Summary page, find the PayPal balance, and click Details.
2. Click Manage Currencies.
3. On the left, select the currency you'd like to be your primaery (or add it as a new one if it's not there) and click Make Primary.
