Thanks for info on the payment timescale

Ok - finally got round to spending the 100USD - a 'purchase' from my OH via paypal in USD.

How did you do a PayPal USD purchase?

In paypal there seems to be an option to send an invoice in USD - then just a matter of paying it using the citicard linked to the USD account - on receipt in paypal you then have the option to exchange to GBP or keep a USD balance - plus of course you can refund the transaction up to 60 days and get all the fees back

Still waiting on citibank for my refund now though...

Has anyone used their debit card to withdraw cash in Europe from a non-Citi ATM?

Just wondering if you are always charged a fee if withdrawing from non-citi ATM's?

Cheers, Des.

Yep. Took €100 out of Volksbank in Cochem, Germany in December. No fee charged in that instance, just a straight €100 debit from the account.

Excellent, thanks for letting me know!

I'll report back when I get to try mine.

Cheers, Des.

Generally with the citicard there is no cash withdrawal fee unless the machine you are drawing from makes a charge whether in UK or elsewhere

I have arranged for a PayPal invoice over £75 via PayPal.

I read PayPal's help section on foreign currency conversion, according to which PayPal prompts the user whether he wants PayPal to convert or the card provider.

When I get to the Payment screen it says

Credit/Debit Card: $75.00 USD from Visa/Delta/Electron XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Can I be sure that when I hit the Pay button that PayPal will not convert?
