Sending money to American friend and vice versa!

[sarahlou89]

My American friend wants to send me $300 but I'm British and so the currency of my bank account is £ British Pound. What is the best way to send me the money through PayPal?

I should also add we both only have personal accounts.

Tell her to send it in sterling.

She goes to send money > imputs your email address > puts in the amount > selects pounds from the drop down box > then before she clicks submit it tells her how much in $ will be debited from her funding source.
