Beware of PayPal + request for advice

[Uri Even-Chen]

Hi,

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

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

Thanks,
