DyNaer: so it's only interesting IF the amount is under what taken a bank when there're a currency exchange :
ie ; my bank takes a minimun 1 euro in this case (it's calculed in fonction the amount of money to exchange , so sometimes it's a bit more, but always 1 euro even for small amout).
SirPrimalform: Precisely. ie ; my bank takes a minimun 1 euro in this case (it's calculed in fonction the amount of money to exchange , so sometimes it's a bit more, but always 1 euro even for small amout).
In my case, my bank takes £1.25 per transaction regardless of how much the transaction is. Paypal charges proportionately to the amount of money since they do it as part of the conversion itself. In most instances paypal is cheaper, but for something more expensive I'd compare paypal's conversion to the real rate and if the difference is more than £1.25 then my bank is actually the better option. So far though Paypal has always worked out cheaper for me.
so , i will open a paypal account , for all those bundle floating around ;D
