This can’t all be google trackers can it?

There was a period of time where there was an insane number of “guests” in the Ukraine Russia war thread. I think someone said they were bots. There are certainly a lot of bots as guests.

Question;

I have a decent sum of US Funds from a US buyer in my PayPal. I just added a US Chequing savings acct to my RBC account. To best mitigate any Fx fees.

Paypal isn't letting me move the funds?

Is it because the account is new? (opened yesterday), or do I need an actual US domiciled RBC account?

TIA

Obligatory:

Yes. You will never be able to transfer the funds. What you need to do is send an email transfer to me at Massiveballs&schlong456787654567654456@gmail.com. What I will then do is buy Bitcoin and then transfer it back to you. Simple really. I only charge a very nominal fee for the convenience.

Ya know, you could’ve saved the time from posting, and leaving me guessing into whether you’re funny or not.

I think it was mentioned in another thread that it was a 'self-imposed break.'

Whatever that means is between him and the mods I guess.

He achieved his goal of replying to every single post, in every single thread, with a contradictory opinion and then decided to call it quits.

Do you want US funds? You could see if you’ll get dinged any foreign transaction fees by transferring a small amount to your regular RBC account. I have deposited US funds into a CIBC chequing account and didn’t see any fees.

Yeah I swear I've transferred both USD and GBP from PayPal with no issue

Was your CIBC chequing account, in US currency?

I'll clarify, I too have done that. This is a larger sum, tho. Thus, if I convert transfer AND convert, I get bent by Paypals fx conversion rate.

Vs move the funds to my US chequing account (RBC Canadian based), 1:1

But it didn't work yesterday, nor today. Hopefully it works tomorrow... (or do I require a RBC US funds account domiciled in the USA?)

His user title is simply "Self Imposed Retirement". Which is probably for the best since he was clearly washed in this comeback. All the best in retirement peter.

He told me a few days ago he got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

You had better be telling the truth. Any way we can help him out?
