I always purchase stuff from Ebay and am using PayPal (which charges quite a bit). Will using Wise help on this?
Another question, I have some $ on Etrade (company stock). Can I transfer those to my Wise account? |

QUOTE(MUM @ Mar 26 2023, 01:02 AM) While waiting for real sifus to comment, I googled and found this...hope it can provide you with some added info while you wait. Thanks. As a buyer, we're not charged by Paypal - only the sellers are. But there is still some bank charges for the conversion, so I am seeing if using Wise will even be cheaper."Use Wise to save money on eBay international buying." https://wise.com/my/blog/ebay-international...y%20with%20that.  |

QUOTE(blingless @ Sep 8 2023, 12:19 AM) General rule of thumb ... Paypal is a ripoff. Yes, but also because they give protection to the buying parties. Does ebay allow payment using Wise and not PayPal?They'll get you at least twice. Once from their lousy exchange rate and then again on their processing/service fees. |
