Aloha, It actually converts   $29.49 USD to 20.2258 EUR today 😉 but, I found this post from Contributor Amanda, which explains why you are being charged a little more than the exchange rate. Here's what she stated:   Amanda PayPal is not a currency dealer and therefore must purchase foreign currencies from its bank. Like many other financial service companies, PayPal adds a 2.5% spread above the bank's wholesale rate. PayPal's rate is competitive with most multi-currency credit card transactions.   Because PayPal does not charge a high fixed fee for sending international payments, the total cost of sending an international payment through PayPal is still lower than many international multi-currency bank transfers. For more detailed information on the exchange rate, see the User Agreement.     😞  Not the best news for watching every EUR, but it does explain why you are converting to one amount and being charged a different amount. I hope this helps you. Aloha. ... View more

Aloha Dieseldrew,             The payment that you are trying to make, is it to a PayPal account?? If so, all you would have to do is enter the e mail address of the receipient of the payment as you would any PP payment. Does this help you? If not I'll find  the answer for you to help you out, if you could give me a little more information about what your trying to pay or to whom, i.e. personal or a vendor. I hope this helps you, if not let me know. Good luck, aloha. ... View more

Aloha Dukealoops,         When you deposit funds from your bank account to your PP account the funds are usually withdrawn from your bank account  in 1-2 days and than deposited in to your PP account within 3-5 days of initiating the deposit. You'll probably see the funds available on the 7th or the 8th of this month. Good luck. aloha 🙂  ... View more

Coralys-  Aloha,              I read an earlier post in which PayPal Andy stated that the funds may have been paid by e check from your customer and if so, that could take several days to clear. If you know how the funds were paid than you may have your answer on what to do. If it was paid by E Check, you'll have to wait a bit longer, if it was paid by other means you probably need to click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of any page on this site and report your issue so you can get help from a rep. You can call them too and they will help you with any issues you ever have. I hope this helps you, good luck. Aloha 😉 ... View more

UGH!! 😞 I feel for you on that hairy situation. It stinks that a little mistake like a typo can cause such problems. I wish you all the luck in the world that your money makes a speedy recovery to you and not 3-5 business  days to your PP account and 3-5 more days to get to your bank account. That would be a long, long week. Good luck hun. Aloha. ... View more

Aloha,          If it hasn't been past the 3-5 day waiting period than you'll just have to wait for it to show up in your PP account. If it has past the 3-5 business day waiting period and  you still have not received it than go to the bottom of any page on this site and click on the "Contact Us" link to let them know and the rep. will assist you. If you don't have a debit card for that bank account already linked to your PayPal account, you might want  to add that card. It's supposed to speed up your deposit times from your bank account to your PP account when a debit/credit card is linked to your PP account. I'm not sure how much it speeds it up but I'd guess it would take 1-2 days rather than 3-5 days for deposits to post. If I find out soon, I'll let you know. Take care, aloha 🙂 ... View more

Aloha,        This is the only advice that I could find that may help you. Go to the Resolution Center and get help, so you can report your issue. They handle issues promptly and you shouldn't have any problem at all receiving your money. I hope this helps. Aloha.   To go there, log in to your PayPal account and click Resolution Center at the top of the page. The Resolution Center is where buyers and sellers resolve issues. You can check on things like an issue status or limited account access, and you can manage disputes, chargebacks, and appeals.   ... View more

Aloha,        In order to transfer your PayPal account funds into your bank account you just need to :   Here’s how to withdraw money from your PayPal account: Log in to your PayPal account. Click Withdraw near the top of the page. Select a withdrawal method, then follow the instructions. Note: Once you’ve requested a withdrawal, it can’t be canceled. The minimum you can transfer to a bank account is $1.00 USD. Depending on your bank, it can take 3-4 business days for the money to appear in your account. The minimum you can withdraw by check is $1.51 USD. There’s a fee of $1.50 USD for each check withdrawal. Your check should arrive in 1-2 weeks. Withdrawals are converted to U.S. Dollars. You can’t withdraw money to a debit card, credit card, or prepaid card.     I hope this answers your question. If not, you can check out the Help Center answers and it has answers to most questions you'll ever have to ask. That's where I got this answer from. Good luck. Aloha. ... View more

Aloha,          I looked that up for you in PayPals Help section. If you live in the U.S. it should only take 1-2 weeks (7-14 days) to receive your check. If iy hasn't arrived by than, which you obviously haven't gotten yours, than you need to click on "Contact Us" link, found at the bottom of any page on this site. You  need to let the rep.'s know, so they can help you get your check.   If you’re in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, India, Jamaica, or Uruguay, it takes 4 to 6 business days for us to process and mail your check. After we mail it, the delivery takes additional time and it varies depending on your country. In some countries it may take up to 45 days for the check to be delivered.   I hope this helps you. Take care, aloha.   ... View more
