I was thinking of changing my current verified paypal primary currency to Euro. How can we actually do that? Anybody has any idea or has done it before? Please share your opinion. Thanks

I think that would be possible and also paypal ont have any problems with that. It just a change from one currency to other.

Even with your basic currency as dollers you can receive funds in Euro or any form that paypal supports. But hen they get credited to your acount they get converted to dollars according to the currency rate.

Hey guys, I think I've found the answer, so I thought want to share with you all here. If you intend to change your primary currency, all you have to do is to go to the main account summary page and look for "edit profile" then select "Currency balance" from the page that appears next.

hmmm I think its better to use USD as your main currency because most merchants use USD for you to save as well on conversion rates.
