However a money transfer to any national bank account is free and a one minute job, if and only if no borders are crossed (and cheaper and easier within EU boundaries than outside). This is why I suggested to have a local Paypal account in some countries.
I guess it's that last part I didn't get. A "local Paypal account in some countries". Did you mean to just say a "local bank account in some countries"? That makes sense to me, given everything else that you've said.
Maybe you're not quite understanding all about paypal. I think I can easily have local bank accounts all over the world and then link them to Paypal for transfers.
But anyhow, the main question is how hard it is for me to open a bank account in Europe. There are no legal or tax barriers for me to do so, let's assume, at least not on my end of the ocean. So, can someone find a reputable bank for me with an English explanation of how to get an account? Or something like that...
