Getting payouts in Euro from co.uk MP ebay

[muzzie]

I had no problems getting paid in Euros when I had non-MP ebay + paypal, as money was converted to euros inside paypal and paid out. Also, pp was sending euros as microdeposits to confirm my bank. Now, when there is MP for everyone, how can I get paid? Ebay.com wants to pay in dollars, .co.uk in GBPs... although I am from Latvia, where we use only Euro and bank account accepts only Euro. How to get paid then? All my accounts that were successfully selling in GBPs, now are trash? Or now I need to create new accounts on absolutely irrelevant local ebay sites that allow euro?

I find it had to believe your bank 'only accepts Euros'. One of their biggest earners is in currency conversion, they love it!

If they're really that backwards, find another bank, there are countless who would happily take GB Sterling for you.

Yes, but I have EMI. Many solid real banks really do these conversions, but when it gets to EMIs, they don't really like it. Also, conversions eat a lot of money and should be avoided. So my question stays... how to make MPs happen in Euros?

You can't, you'll have to take any conversion costs on the chin. Ebay have made it clear they will disburse in GBP only, it's not their problem and no different to how Amazon have operated for many years.

You can try to add EMI GBP IBAN on your MP. Just test it.

Pretty much hard to get one. But UK-style bank details seem easier to get.

You can calculate IBAN from sort code and account number:
