I am pretty sure that you cannot use Pay Pal to send money to someone who
does not have a Pay Pal account.
I also have never been successful at getting money OUT of my pay pal
account. I have a business pay pal account, and was sent a debit card I
can use for purchases or to withdraw money using an ATM, but even though I
activated it, it doesn't work, and others on the boards report that theirs
doesn't work either and they can't get customer service to respond.
If you have a debit or electronic check card it can be used online like a
credit card.
If I understand correctly, your problem is the exchange rate, which a credit
card applies automatically.

Subject: [lace-chat] PayPal (maybe) help?
Can anyone help, please?
I'm in the UK, and I have a PayPal account linked to my bank account. No
problem so far.
I need to send $65 to a very small knitting tools supplier in the USA, who
doesn't have PayPal or credit card facilities. 8-(
If I get a money order from my bank, to send safely by post, the bank will
charge me £15 (around $30) for the M.O. That's a flat rate, no matter how
much or how little the M.O. is worth.
If I send the money from my PP account to the supplier's e-mail address (I
tried it out on DH first <G>) she will receive a message telling her how
to
open a PP account and link it to her bank account in order to get at the
cash.
So what's the best way for me to get money to her, and to get the stuff
from
her to me?
Can I write a cheque (on Barclays Bank) in dollars? If I write it in GBP,
won't it cost her a lot in bank charges to get it exchanged?
Advice, please?
Margery.
