How to receive a refund in the currency in which it was issued ?

My PayPal account has balances in USD, Euro, and GBP.
How can I arrange for GBP refunds to go in my GBP balance ?
Currently they are converted to USD, which incurs yet another loss on exchange.

Hi @g109b

 

Sorry to hear of the frustration. 

 

When a refund is issued, the money is refunded in the same currency it was originally sent using. 

 

I hope this information helps!


Thanks,

I think it is very unfair to charge another exchange fee, I think the USD should be refunded at the original rate.
