Unable to convert currencies

[mseerah]

Hi there, I have been struggling for sometime now with converting my pounds to dollars, which is strange cause previously I used to do it with no issues, until this week. Can someone please assist, PayPal is testing my patience, they think they're special honestly. Anyway I get the following error when converting 'We’re sorry, things don’t appear to be working right now. Try again later.', how do I resolve it, please anybody.

Hey,

I was also experiencing this problem but stumbled upon a fix for this. If you have any funds in USD, convert them to GBP first, then convert the GBP to USD. It worked for me. it works even if you just have 0.75 USD. convert them to GBP or any other currency and you will be good to go.

What I would like to do: convert my BPS to US dollar. I have done this many times with no issue, now I cannot for days. I tried the suggested solution of converting some US back and forth but was unable to do that either. Has anyone found an answer to this?

Hi. I am having the same issue right now. I followed the solution to convert from USD to GBP then GBP to USD, yet, does not work for me. I lived in the PH and trying to convert it to PESO. Please help 😞
