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!

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.
