OK I didn&#8217;t say it was a lot higher. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Still &#8230; since most of the money that I earn via the internet is paid to me in American dollars through my Paypal account I&#8217;m actually losing money.  Paypal takes a small fee, I believe it&#8217;s 3% when they exchange money from US currency to another currency and of course, when I transfer my money to a Canadian bank account I end up losing money. <\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m going to look into getting an American bank account. I think I can.  Then I&#8217;ll use that as my main Paypal bank account and transfer my money to my Canadian bank from the US bank account.  I must look into this. <\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>I&#8217;m sure there must be several Canadians out there in the same position that I am.
