My account is in euros yet every time it wants to pay in dollars

My account is in euros, every time I make a PayPal purchase it wants to do it in dollars - I have to make sure that I choose euros each time - a few times I forget and get charged in dollars which of course results in an unnecessary exchange rate conversion! How can I stop this? Thanks in advance

Click on your paypal 'wallet' and make sure the radio icon is next to euros as your primary currency.

Your card currency is not in USD is it?

Hi,

 

It is a Revolut card and I have euros, pounds, dirhams and dollars on it..... but why would the dollars take precedent over the others? I've deleted the dollars to see if that makes a difference next time...
