Paying eBay in item currency?

[Django x2]

Hi all,

Bought an item from the EU listed in Euros. I have a Fair FX card, which, on the this amount is a saving of £25 over the PayPayl exchange rate.

I have added and linked the Fair FX card to my PayPal account, but how can I tell ebay / PayPal that I want to pay the Euro price not it's crappy £ conversion?

It's ok, found it.

I had to change the drop down from "Using PayPal exchange rate" to "use credit card exchange rate"

Wrong. Right now for USD paypal offer 1.54925, but the midmarket rate (very nearly the rate you get with Halifax clarity for example) is 1.59731.

To save £25 you need to make a payment of £520.18. Paypal are thieves.

Edit: just realised discussion was about euros. It's a payment of £529.55 to make a £25 saving in EUR.

Astonishing - I knew Paypal was bad but... wow.

Paypal is at 1.1306 FairFx is at 1.155

EUR1100 = Bingo (give or take)

... if you press down, up, left, left, A, right, down & A + Start - it unlocks the extra low rate too
