Other option, maybe try to ask the post bank, if they transfer via western union. There is a fee at postal bank, but this option might not be available at all. <br><br>My 2c ideas. <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>
I have a problem with PayPal - they advertise that you can withdraw<br>
money to Israeli bank accounts for free. But the catch is - they<br>
deposit to Israeli banks in Shekels, and they charge about 3.66%<br>
exchange rate fee (undocumented). I got stuck with money in PayPal,<br>
after I requested it to be sent there, and then I discovered the<br>
exaggerated exchange rate fee. Be careful! [<br>

]. And request for advice: do you know how I can transfer money to a<br>
USA bank account (or PayPal account), and receive the money in Israel?<br>
I don't have a USA bank account. I can't receive the money from<br>
PayPal in US dollars - that's not an option. I want to pay minimal<br>
fees. Do you have an idea?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
