thanks for your post    you are right, i can always trust a family member or friend to get round my problem. its just i cannot get my head around    1 i am unable to withdraw euro funds to my euro acc in switzerland. they will only comvert to chf thereby also profiting on the exchange rate   2 i was given the option in switzerland to set up my account in euro and now cant transfer euro funds   3 i have two paypal accounts and cannot send momey between the two   would be great to hear if someone managed to get round this problem - avoiding recruiting their family for help!   colster   ...

dear community,   has anyone got an idea to get round this problem? i have a swiss and irish paypal acc as i live and work in both countries. i have euro funds deposited in my swiss acc. but paypal rules are i can only with draw funds to a swiss chf bank acc.    so, i thought no problem, i will just transfer to my irish acc. no point converting to chf when i need euros to pay my bills   guess what, you can send a payment to friends and family, but not youself. does this mean i have no option but to transfer euros to chf only to convert chf back to euro to send to my bank in ire? surely not, that is just ridiculous?!!   any pointers woild be great!   note, going fwd, will not be using my swiss acc again!   cheers colster ...
