When you are working on eBay UK, you receive money on Pounds, but if your PayPal Account is not a British PayPal, for example, US PayPal your default currency will be USD.

But the money you get is on Pound, so what happens in the background?

Well, PayPal will exchange the currency from Pound to USD, therefore we will lose money. Because PayPal’s Currency exchange rates are not that good.

Without mentioning that we want to keep our money on the currency which we received the payment for the first time. So we can easily pay on suppliers like Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair.

So if you are dropshipping on eBay Italy, France, Germany or any other European eBay Marketplace, we will want to keep our money on Euro.
