It also depends on the amount of cash you are talking about. Just like John, I was pleasantly surprised when I got a better local rate from my bank than online. With the local banks, you can negotiate for a better rate. On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 11:04 AM, Vic Mek <mek.vic@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks John.
Any other person with the same experience? Or a different one?

Depending on the site you might get to see the exchange rate during the transaction. Scrutinize the paypal payment screen before paying, it'll be hidden with + sign that expands the details (appears on some sites, not all). To answer your question, the last time I did, I got a better local credit card rate (barclaycard) as opposed to paypal, shocked me too!
My 2c.

Quick one,
I need to make a Euro purchase over paypal.
Which offers the best exchange rate - paypal or my local bank (KCB in this case) - from your experience. I know I could call the bank and all, but I'm hoping to short-circuit the whole thing.
Thanks.
Mek.
