Using Paypal to buy from a foreign ebay site

[joymaker]

Hi All,

I want to buy something from the german ebay site and wondered if it is just as straight forward paying through Paypal, or if there is anything I need to do or consider beforehand, for instance any additional fee charged by paypal because of the currency difference.

Thanks

I bought stuff from Ebay in France. I have had no problems with paypal.

natty were there any extra charges though

No extra charges - just remember that the total that you will see on eBay/PayPal pages is in euros and PayPal will convert that to pounds to take the payment from your PayPal acct or credit card etc. if you check the PayPal transaction page you will see the exchange rate they use and the amount you will pay in pounds.

WhenDoISleep Thanks very much for explaining how it works

Yes, that is correct there were no extra charges.
