Hello,
I am a resident of Switzerland, and I received an amount in Euros to my paypal account. I would like to link a Euro bank account I have here in Switzerland to paypal, to be able to withdraw this amount. However, even after setting the default currency to Euro, the account is linked as a CHF account, and the amount is being converted from EUR to CHF using paypal's ridiculously low conversion rate. But the account is not a CHF account at all, it's a EUR account!
Any hint on how to tell paypal it's a EUR account?
Thanks!

Click on your paypal wallet or the 3 dots next to paypal balance and then mark Euros as your primary funding source.
