receive gbp in euro account

[rafapg0220]

Hi All 

I have a euro paypal account , but I also want to receive payments in gbp

when someone tries to send me money from uk , its always converted

into euros now , which I dont want , as I need to pay some things out

in gbp , this week I had to send £200 and its cost me 233 euros 

which is a rip off  

any help would be greatful

Have you added sterling as a receiving currency on your paypal account?

Go and click on your paypal balance detaills icon > select manage currencies under the pop up box and in there you can select and add GBP as a receiving currency on your paypal account.
