Hi, I'm a small business owner. Yesterday I received a payment of £645, which I directly completely refunded (-£645). Because it was in a different currencies, I instantly lost $25 from that refund. (Difference from balance before transaction, and after refund). I feet totally stolen from PayPal 😞 Is there anything that I can do? Thank you, A desperate small business owner

Thank you again for replying. Again, I'm not sure you understood what I meant. Maybe I explained it poorly. I'm wondering what could be the reason a person cannot pay for a "transaction" with his PayPal but can send as gift?.. I found it kind of strange as I wanted him to pay on my website. He said he couldn't, and could only send me directly as gift (which I declined)

Hey guys, Could you help me figure out what would be the reason of this: So there's this guy I know for a long time, we did many transactions together. I trust him, so I know it's not to scam me. But he says he cannot purchase on my website (using PayPal) and only send as gift directly to me. What could be the reason? When I ask him, he does not want to explain. Help me figure it out

Hi @kernowlass Thank you for your reply. My PayPal Pro is for https://gw2rewards.com, I am from France, and the bank linked is a Revolut account, so it's in Europe but Revolut is great for currency exchange, so if I could withdraw in USD that would be perfect. Otherwise, if I absolutely "need" a different bank account, my Vivid Money bank provides different IBAN depending on the currency. Would that work? Anyway, let me know if you think of any solution to by-pass the PayPal exchange rates on this. Thanks!

Hi, Your help would be appreciated with my issue: Different currencies are used to pay on my website (gw2rewards.com), and I would like to withdraw currencies without PayPal converting (not going to hide, PayPal exchange rate is 10-15% different compared to market rate). Is there a way to withdraw money to my bank account in a different currency than the one automatically setup? I tried to change my main currency, but it did not change anything while withdrawing. Any idea how to "optimize" this? Thank you.
