Re: How to avoid Paypal

Whenever I send money to the UK paypal tells me both how much I'll pay in dollars and how much the recipient will get in pounds. And yes, the exchange rate is never the same as what it says on google, but that seems to be the way of the world these days, get the little fees in wherever you can because that's where the real profit lies.Raminator wrote:Emphasis mine.43rdRecceReg wrote:we won't charge you any fees.
They will always take their cut somewhere. It would be nice though if you could choose between how much you're sending or how much the other person is receiving (taking currency conversion and fees into account). It seems like it'd be a more honest and transparent way to go about it.
Of course, I do know one fool proof way to make sure paypal doesn't get any of my dough - don't buy anything!!
