I have a credit union account with a former US employer and would like to continue to fund it for use on future US visits. I also have a Paypal account here in the UK but don't quite understand how I would get the funds from my Paypal account into the CU account as I am both the sender and the recipient. Does anybody have any ideas if/how I could do this?

You can do this one of two ways. Firstly you can setup a second email address and paypal account which is linked to your US account and pay the money between your two paypal accounts and then convert to USD. Or you can add the US account under the withdraw tab in Paypal. I currently use the first option at the minute. The exchange rate is not bad its usually about 3 cents better than I have found at M&S.:money:0
