Help, PayPal GBP to Euros?

Post by phil_UK »

I’m just sorting out the deposit payment method with French guests. Our rental prices are quoted in GBP so when I email a money request via PayPal it will be in GBP.

Does PayPal convert this to Euros or what happens as I have no idea how this works?? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

Surely they will pay with the sterling amount with their credit card and the appropriate amount of euros will be charged to their card. It doesn't have to be converted for them to pay in euros, I buy loads of stuff on line in the UK with my French credit card and I charge all my guests in euros.

If you are then depositing the money from PayPal into a bank account in Euros, PayPal will do the exchange for you. They're not the best exchange rates around, mind you, but they are convenient.
