If you're UK-based and sending foreign currency, you should of course
use a credit or debit card that has no foreign currency (loading) fees.
Such cards are listed on the https://www.moneysavingexpert.com site.
I don't know whether paying PayPal in this manner counts as a
cash withdrawal (use debit card) or not (credit card also ok).

In the US, there are similar credit cards (like Barclays 'ring', not
for cash withdrawals) but I don't know about debit cards issued by
banks, nor how to find out. (AFAIK there's no such site as above.)

Cheers,
David.
