Paypal thank you rebate

[rd1000]

I just received mine this morning. Very nice of them. Now I don't like to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I incurred $8.22 US in fees from entirely US payments, and I receive $9.04 Cdn from Paypal. That is $1.10 conversion rate. XE gives me $1.19 today. If there is any evidence of Paypal's horrible exchange rates, there it is. Plus the 50 cents to withdraw.

I am grateful for the refund, but leave it to paypal to turn something nice into feeling like you are ripped off.

Although XE gives the going exchange rate do they actually change money at that amount? I have yet to see a money changer or a bank for that matter offer the same exchange that XE gives.

I signed with XE but haven't had a transaction. By working at the demo, which I think the rate it used was the real exchange rate, I found that they took a small percentage of difference (about 0.5%, compared with their middle rate). That's much better than the banks and close to the best money trader.

Anyone who actually did with XE?

I have done a few transactions with XE. I never really had a close look to see how close they are with the posted rate. I am confident that it is a good rate. But next time I do I will compare the rates and post it to this board.
