What with the terrible dollar vs pound rate at the moment I am wondering if I'm getting the best deal when it come to exchange rates.
I think the best way of getting the facts could be to a little community project to study the different rates out there.
I'll start, here's my last cash-out of paypal. US$ to GBP, I am sure lots of people will be interested in US$ to Euro too.
It would be great if everyone who has a minute could report on the rates they are getting through the different payment platforms at specific times and dates, then we can put a graph together. If you can adjust times to GMT that will make it easier to compare.
