That's exactly what I have. Unbeknownst to Paypal, my "credit card" and "bank account" are really the same thing. That way, when I pay, I use the "credit" card and I get my bank's better conversion rate, Visa protections, Paypal loses 2-3% (bonus!Originally Posted by i_amtrunks
) and when I collect, I just put it back into my bank account.

Or you just purely use your 'credit' card at RK?
reason being is that my order the other day from RK (0.72USD/AUD) paypal wouldn't let me instant bank transfer even though I have my bank(credit) card linked. Ended up using an echeque which used a rate of 0.71USD/AUD

I use credit card through Paypal. Didn't know you could use card direct. Pretty sure you can't. Also, I change the conversion options (doable after choosing credit card as funding source) to let my card do the conversion which is best because Paypal gouges conversion rates.Eh? jay so if you pay at robotkingdom, you go through paypal->credit card?

However isn't there a fee that is paid for a non AUD transaction on a credit card?
