Paypal Query.

I've been sent a payment by a US buyer and in my Paypal account it's only showing as USD, the GBP field just reads as 0.00. If I withdraw this to my bank account [in USD] will that be OK, will it just be converted to pounds? Sorry if i sound like a dumbass. :p

    It converts to sterling when you withdraw it but the exchange rate is not always brilliant. However if you were listing on ebay.uk you can insist on sterling payments, my dollar balance arises because I also list on ebay.com.
