Euro Balance Withdrawl

Hi all,

 

I have a balance in Euros and just wondering if there is any way at all to withdraw this to a Euro account/exchange this outside of Paypal so I don't have to pay their 2.5% conversion fee?

It's good that you reached out to us regarding this matter. Thanks for using PayPal by the way. I'm afraid the option to retain it in Euros is not available, automatically it will be converted to your local currency. It's a Standard with PayPal since base on our reports it is more needed by most PayPal customers. I hope you understand.
Hope this helps. Stay safe my friend.

Very convenient for Paypal I guess, 2.5% commission on all transactions, when these days there are a number of challenger backs that let you withdraw in native currency with ease

Hi there my friend,
Thanks for your response. I do understand where you are coming from. I understand your frustration about this matter and we do appreciate your business. I really do apologise but it's a Standard process that we need to follow,base on reviews and studies that most PayPal users find it more convenient for them. Hope you have a safe day.
