Free foreign exchange

[Ash256]

I'm a skint student, who wants to gamble a small amount of beer money in order to give something a go.

I fancy doing a bit of foreign exchange back-and-forth conversion, and I was wondering, does anyone know of a service online whereby you can convert small amounts of money to a foreign currency and exchange it back without paying comission? I definitely need to do it through the internet, because the Net provides the instant speed that I need.

I might totally be on the wrong website, but please can someone help me out?

Cheers.

No comission? There are plenty of places doing this but you are paying a higher spread e.g. you post office. If you just want to take a punt on a currency then you might as well use them but if you are serious then get a few books do some research and open a spread-trading account – just make darn sure you can afford to lose all the money you put into the account! I get the impression you cant so try something which is less capital intensive and less risky e.g. how about a setting up an ebay drop point for your uni?..

I guess no one convert that with any commission, well I am just thinking about website over internet as someone suggest at physical address like post office - I Don't know much about that,
Paypal help you with the minimum commission.

Those who provide such services necessarily interested in their own benefit. So anything else, but you will have to pay.
