I have just setup a Paypal account but when I try to send the balance in the account to my bank it forces the amount to be changed into euros. My bank does not even accept euros and the balance isn't even euros to start with. It's the same currency I want to send, I don't want or need a currency conversion.
There's no ways of preventing this. I tried removing the account and re-adding it.
I have another account in euros but I am not sending the money there.
I sent messages to Paypal about this 3 times over a week and they have just been ignored. This fault/error is causing me great problems and I am now accumulating a daily late payment fee as I can't transfer the money in order to pay someone.
I am looking into legal action against Paypal. It is a breach of terms - forcing a currency conversion that I do not want and which my bank cannot accept, effectively preventing me from accessing my own money. This is also in breach of financial regulations in the UK.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Or a solution to the issue?
