The current [forex market] spot rate on xe.com is 1.33584. At that rate, €3931.00 = £2942.72. What rate would you consider acceptible?

Bear in mind whoever does the exchange will have to turn some sort of profit.

bitcoin

Or magic beans.

Google wallet?

Barter?

Bit the bullet and just withdrew it to my account.

I regularly use UKforex for stuff like this as I have a business account with them however this customer insisted on PayPal, wont be happening again lol.


Thanks everyone

I would tell the customer that if they insist on using a method of payment which ends up costing you rather than one that doesn't, then they need to increase what they pay to cover the costs.

If it's their decision for their peace of mind, why should you lose out?

Tell them to send as 'Family & Friends' and in GBP next time, costs (for the sender) outlined below, you would receive the full amount:



£1000
Currency: GBP
What are you sending money for? I'm sending money to family or friends
You will be charged a:
£5.00 GBP fee if you use your PayPal balance and/or bank account to send money
£39.20 GBP fee if you use your debit card to send money
£39.20 GBP fee if you use your credit card to send money
