hi,

I have linked a bank account in US$ to my PayPal account.

Why is PayPal changing my transferred money into Euros?

Can I do anything to avoid the currency exchange?

Thanks

Hi @Bo100,

 

Thank you for posing in PayPal's Community Forum. When you transfer money from your PayPal balance to a linked bank, we automatically convert the funds into the local currency. At this time, we do not have the option to avoid the currency exchange. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Hi, thank you for your answer. Even though on a big picture countries seem to be closer to a certain currency, it is not always the best solution to impose an exchange of currency for which you charge about 3.5%. Finally it will be in the price of the eBay items.
