Currency - do I need to do anything?

[Sophiedharman]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me - I am due to receive weekly payments for some online transcription work I've been doing - the first one is due to come in tomorrow. As the company is American I am actually paid in dollars each week via PayPal for the work rather than in UK pounds. I was wondering if when they pay me, will it come into my PayPal account automatically converted into UK pounds? And do I need to do anything in terms of allowing foreign payments to come in to my account?

Many thanks for any help

It will automatically convert to UKP although if you add a USD currency balance to your PayPal balance, the USD will go into that currency balance.

To add a currency balance, go to Wallet page, click PayPal balance, and click Add Currency on the right side.
