Hello,
I am from the UK so primarily use GBP currency. However, I am currently developing a server and I am not sure whether to use GBP or USD. First of all, I think that most of my playerbase it to be from the USA so I was thinking USD, I was also thinking about my serverhost too, they are paid in GBP, it would cost fees to transfer currency between different currency types on paypal so which should I use ?

If you use Buycraft or something like that the currencies convert on checkout.

I thought paypal automatically transfers the money to any other currency..

I may be wrong though.

American's get intimidated by our currency.

>inb4 hate
that's what i was worrying about too! xD[DOUBLEPOST=1465058319][/DOUBLEPOST]
nope. you can receive other currencies and transfer them to USD at a transfer fee.
Yeah, it's annoying. I sent someone $20 which was converted from GBP and it was like a $1.50 fee, imagine if that was on a larger scale/more often - would become a problem.

Thanks everyone! I think I will go with USD, I will probably move my files from my minecraft host and have them stored on a USA VPS or dedicated server as it's less currency to have to convert and most players from the USA should get a better server ping.

I'm still going with USD but what if I need to spend GBP ? How do I transfer the money without fees ? Is there an alternative website to paypal that i can transfer dollars to and convert to pounds and send back to my paypal ?
