    It's not possible. I also have a card with primary currency as USD and it wouldn't withdraw to it. This is how PayPal make their money these days, they even have hiked merchant fees for any other currency then the accounts default.

    Anyone found a better solution to this yet or is it still a case of having to swallow the high Paypal charges?
