How to transfer euro out of paypal without converting to USD
 

I have a question about transferring money out of paypal.

I got some large payment in euro, and would like to transfer them out of paypal.

It seems like paypal will automatically convert them to USD then transfer to bank, charging 2.5% fee in this process.

Is there a way to transfer euro out of paypal directly without converting them?

Appreciate any help or hints.

So you want a "free" way to get Euro's to Dollars?.....you gotta pay to play.

You can have as many currencies in Paypal as you want (that will stay as they are). And to transfer Euros to the bank you need a bank account that will support that currency. I am not sure if in US those accounts exist or if there are any other solutions that you may have but it certainly works for me as I withdraw Canadian and US dollars without losing anything on conversion and fees. And where did you get that 2.5% conversion fee? I think that applies only to sending and receiving payments, not to conversions. As far as I know bank transfers from PP to bank are free.

You can open up different currencies as balances to keep in PP
