My aged father (in the US) sent some money to me (in the UK) in celebration of his B-day, via PayPal. To my amazement, PayPal wouldn't let me remove it from the account - or rather, they WOULD, but only $300 or so at a time. The reason? They get to charge for a currency changes!
And no, you couldn't make it up.
Tip for consumers:
There are alternatives. I'm looking at them now!!!!
I'm an American living in London, and I brought my US taxes over when I came to visit my parents in Virginia. My mother and I stupidly posted them, via UPS, from Staples (why does Staples USE this appalling company?!?!) They 'damaged' them. Of course they did. (Probably LOST them - they were in a hard cardboard casing that would've required a buzzsaw to damage.) Of course, not worth anything - other than HOURS of my life. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. What has America come to, that companies this poor are still trading? Yours, heading back to London, AM
