That is brilliantly helpful. Many thanks.
Thereâs some movement on Paypal front, with more details from Simon:
Iâm gonna check it out later today⌠Oh, I hate Paypal so badly.
I get this option when I send money in a foreign currency
I just checked and my Monzo card linked to paypal did not lose âBill me in the currency listed on invoiceâ setting that I enabled few months back. However, I only have recurring subscriptions on Paypal, I canât check single payment option. Simonâs comment might relate to single payments, where user uses card already added, but itâs normal checkout process. I vaguely remember it was offering paypal conversion, allowing you to opt out - and thatâs the part that might be gone.
It reminds me why i donât use PayPal much
Just decided to check it with a payment and the option is still there for single payments, but the option is now one click more hidden. I panicked for a moment.
Not sure if itâs a gradual rollout or something, doesnât seem like the sort of thing he would miss
I am in Mexico and everything I am booking seems to be PayPal. I was having a torrid time of getting away from PayPalâs terrible rate, but found out that you have to use the card to have currency conversion options. As my default was my bank account I could not do anything but pay in GBP, which kind of makes sense as it is a direct debit payment rather than a card paymentâŚ. But still wasted a load of my time and made me very angry⌠sorted now though!
N.B Lost about ÂŁ5 on a payment before I figured this out. As above, it is the principle!
