>you can only withdraw money in your local currency, and PayPal has quite bad conversion rates (you lose 2-3% again).

Someone on HN recommended TransferWise for that purpose. I tried it and it works well: PayPal can transfer to TransferWise and then from TransferWise money can be withdrawn in local currency with a very fair exchange rate close to real-time Forex.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with TransferWise in any sense.

I used TransferWise many times and I am extremely happy with it. I have the USD account in the US through TransferWise.

The problem is, that my PayPal does not let me withdraw money to my US account, as I am not the US citizen.
