Advice to receive Euros?

Hi all

I would like some advice please on receiving Euros.

I am making some nominal sales on Amazon (IT / FR / GE / ES) and expect to earn say 20 - 100 Euro every fortnight.

My bank will charge me £2 to receive disbursements of less than £100. Anything more they charge £7. They will charge me £24 per year to hold a Euro account if I was going down that route.

There's got to be a better deal out there - any suggestions please?

Chris

    Get euro based account in Ireland Or Germany, when the amount builds up enough use online system to transfer it to get the best rate.
    Eg, xe.com.
    And also you can save euros for holidays there.

    How easy is it to open an Irish bank account if you live in England?
