Hello everyone! I live in a small USD country and have almost 1000 USD in my PayPal account. I would like to use the US dollar balance with my US Google Wallet to make purchases from merchants or transfer it to my US debit card or US checking account. PayPal prevents both. When I use Google Wallet for a touch payment at merchants in USD, PayPal always does a currency exchange from USD to Euro with PayPal's usual (unbelievable!) surcharge of four to five percent. I don't want to pay this surcharge, 2 percent would be okay! USD online purchases are not possible here as retailers do not ship to this small country. And when I'm in Europe, I can only pay in EUR again. When I try to transfer my US dollar balance to my US checking account, I suddenly no longer see the transfer option from the PayPal balance on Xoom, even though it was previously displayed on PayPal with a fee. The transfer to a US debit card is also prevented with various cards telling me that the card number is invalid. Support requests only yield the answers that it's due to Google Wallet, which can't be true since I use a USD wallet, and Xoom doesn't answer at all several times! Does anyone know about an option to get my USD that I may have missed with NO forced currency exchange? Thanks for the help, Rolf
