How to stop PayPal converting dollar balances into euro when transferring bank account

My partner and I run a business from Romania, and have set up a bank account that is denominated in US dollars. We did this specifically so that we could transfer PayPal balances from US customer payments without conversion fees.

 

Yet it is only now that I attempt to make a balance transfer from PayPal to this USD bank account (which is registered and confirmed with PayPal) that I am warned on the final screen that PayPal will make a conversion to Euro from the native USD balance currency.

 

Why? The Euro is not Romania's national currency anyway, and if euros arrive in this account, we will get alerts from the bank and extra charges.

 

How can I transfer USD to this account without conversion?
