Cross border fees with personal account?

Hello,   Signing into PayPal, I made the choice for my account to be a Business one. I did not know that this meant PayPal would charge fees; whenever I receive a payment, I never get the full amount because of it.   I just wanted to know if switching to a Personal account would mean no fees anymore for me, considering I live in France and almost all the payments I receive are from the U.S. or another country. I always send invoices in Euros, so I have to assume my customers pay a conversion fee from USD to Euros. Will I also still be able to send these invoices in Euros to my customers and have them pay the conversion fee?   Thank you in advance.   AF ... View more

No fee with invoice in another currency

Hello! I'm a bit new to PayPal and I need some guidance for something that seems really unclear to me. Here's the thing: I'm soon going to receive a $12 invoice that I want to accept, but I only want to pay $12, not more. That means I don't want to pay any PayPal fee. The thing is I live in France, so I use Euros.   My PayPal balance is currently empty; I've read somewhere that if you decide to pay an invoice with your credit card, you will have to pay a fee; but if you're paying with your balance, no fee will be applied. So I was thinking I'd transfer $12 from my bank account to my PayPal balance, and here's my first problem: the money in my bank account is in Euros. I've tried to transfer money from my bank account to my PayPal balance and I've seen that I can only transfer Euros. Okay. So I google how many Euros would $12 be, turns out it's 11.10€. Let's imagine I did that transfer and I now have 11.10€ on my PayPal balance.    They're still Euros, not USD. At this state, can I accept the $12 invoice? Or will PayPal tell me I need more money in my balance considering they'd need to make me pay more for a currency translation? And if so, how can I be sure of the exact amount of Euros I will need to complete the invoice before paying it?   Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I know I am going to find myself stuck in this situation again, now that I use PayPal.   AF ...
