I just bought something from ebay which is coming form the UK. I have an option of using paypal's currency conversion or my visa card's conversion. Is there one that will convert to a bit less or would it be the same. I'm assuming they might be a bit different. Any ideas?

See if either PP or your credit card company charges a fee for currency conversion.

Paypal will charge you a conversion fee. Most credit cards will too. Check the link below for more info.

PayPal and your Visa card might offer slightly different rates. PayPal typically adds a margin to its conversion rate, which can make it a bit more expensive. Your Visa card might give you a better rate, but it’s worth checking if your bank charges any foreign transaction fees. To compare and get an idea of the best rate, you can check https://rates.fm/, where they provide information all about international rates. This can help you see what the current exchange rate is and decide which option might save you a little more on your purchase.
