How to stop PayPal from converting currency

To stop PayPal from converting currency, decline their conversion at checkout by selecting "See currency options" or "Other conversion options" and choosing to be billed in the original currency. PayPal's conversion rates include a markup, so letting your bank or card issuer handle the conversion often saves money. If you regularly receive international payments, currency conversion fees can eat into your earnings significantly.

For Indian exporters and freelancers, Skydo offers a better alternative. As an RBI-authorised platform, Skydo delivers international payments directly to your Indian bank account with transparent forex rates and minimal fees, eliminating the need to navigate PayPal's conversion settings altogether. You receive the full value of your work without hidden markups or multiple conversion layers.
