So maybe we could open a Wikimedia Paypal account in several countries. Electronic transfer to a US Paypal account would be uneconomical due to high bank fees.
I'm perfectly willing to do that, if that's the right thing to do, but my reading of the Paypal website doesn't suggest that I really need to do it. Is there something that I'm not understanding?
I think you can send me Euros, Pound sterling, Canadian dollars, Yen, U.S. dollars, and it'll be just fine. There's certainly some slippage when they convert the currencies, but until I see how that works out in practice, i.e. what rates they use for conversion, I can't really judge how expensive that will be.
