exchange rates
I'm just trying to work out whether I'm better off doing payments to America via Barclays (international money order) or via Paypal.
I'm assuming that Barclays is better value, but I can't actually (after 10 mins searching with Google) find anything that quotes a current exchange rate for Paypal (though they apparantly add 2.5 % to the rate).
Anyone know how to find current Paypal pound/dollar rates including the conversion fee?
Paypal is faster and easier and I'd be willing to pay a little extra for that, but I'm not going to use it if the cost is too much greater. (and when you're sending upto a thousand dollars on a fairly regular basis, then a few % adds up to a fair bit)
