What’s the best method for dealing with conversion fees when shopping on a euro website from the US? Specifically, how does PayPal’s conversion rate compare, and what are the fees?

PayPal’s conversion fees are generally pretty high. If you can, it’s usually cheaper to use a card and let your bank handle the conversion.

So I should skip using PayPal and just use my debit card instead?

Yeah, you can use your debit or credit card through PayPal, or just pay directly with your card. Either works.

I usually link my bank account and pay that way. Were you talking about using a PayPal credit card?
