PayPal INCREASES its Money Conversion Charges!

[Stitch Up]

As with all banks inc. Lloyds Bank, 'forever at your side' - with their hand in your pocket, PayPal have increased their currency conversion rates effective from 31st August 2018. There has to be another way to getting screwed by these greedy *******s.

I assume transaction fees also apply!
