Just an (obvious) heads up.
I have just purchased something for $99 via Paypal. I chose to pay by card, rather than my PP account and when completing the transaction, I was offered the option to pay $99 or £77.91. I chose the $99 and used my Starling card - that was £74.73.
Whilst it is only £3/4%, if I were to do that a lot, it would probably be a few beers or meals worth across a year.
I will now ensure any USD or € subscriptions I have with PP are are moved to cards.
BTW, many of the online banks offer good exchange rates, but not sure how competitive high street banks are.
