I want to buy an item in France by post. I want to send a cheque to cover the cost of the item and postage. My cheques are in Pounds....my dilemma is if the items etc. cost say €100 do I send a cheque for £75 ish..... Will the French bank convert my pounds to Euros???????
my alternative is using the Post office to send a money transfer costing about £18 to send over £100.......wow. Help if you can. Thanks

Steve, your bank will do the money transfer for you but will charge you for (a) the transfer (b) changing the money into Euros.0

Barclays have stopped their money transfer, they recommended I use the Post office believe it or not.
All I need to know is if a cheque in pounds is converted to Euros in a French bank. I might give the bank another visit.0 -
Is it not possible to pay via paypal, it will work out much cheaper?0
