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
