Hi Folks,


Can you help? I'm based in Ireland, work in Norther Ireland. I have a stg bank account and I have been receiving payments to organise a stag party in edinburgh. I need to pay in sterling and have been receiving payments in stg, but when i try to send it to my stg bank account it converts paypal converts it into euro then my bank converts in into stg which means I am taking a massive hit each time. 😞 how can this be avoided?

Hi Donna, I clicked the help setting but it just leads me to a general FAQ page. I don't have a facebook or twitter account. Is there a live chat option or anything?
