If the dollar has a higher value compared to the currency you're exchanging
it for, then the transaction fee may be insignificant. However, you'll
definitely FILL THE PINCH if the dollar value is much lower as is sometimes
the case with the British Pound Sterling!

Re: sending the full amount of money through pay pal
Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.
Evan, in your post, the following statement appears:
"Paypal MAKES MONEY from CURRENCY CONVERSION." Not sure I know what else
you need to know that the COST OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONVERSION was added to
the transaction fee you paid Paypal. At least Paypal is reasonably
transparent within the law on that score. Just ask Paypal directly and
you'll be surprisingly shocked. Paypal won't EXCHANGE THE FUNDS for you if
it won't make a cent on the transaction. In some cases, those conversion
fees ARE NOT EVEN REFUNDABLE should you cancel your transaction. Even if
you send the funds as FRIENDS & FAMILY, a currency exchange fee will still
apply on such international transactions.
Sincerely,
Olusegun

Mr. Evan Reese wrote in part: "I've never been charged a fee for currency conversion. I think it's the recipient that
gets charged because I sure never have been." Sorry sir, international business transactions DO NOT WORK as you indicated. The recipient of any funds transferred across borders IS NOT THE INITIATOR of the transaction; therefore, all transaction charges, including foreign currency exchange fees, will never be borne by the transferee. Ask any bank--U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Chase, and CapitalOne. These entities MOVE A HECK OF A LOT when it comes to international business transactions. Credit unions don't do nearly as much at least here in the United States but not so in Britain where they are commonly referred to as cooperatives! Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado

Re: Access Denied, How To Access
Hi Jaffar,
I finally did get the tweak I needed from the
Winaero website. It's URL and explanation is below. But first, thank
you very much for all these tweaks you've provided, keepers for
sure!
Add Take Ownership Context Menu in Windows
10
Sometimes you need to get full access to some file or folder in Windows
10. It can be a system file or folder, or one which was created by a user
account that no longer exists. In most cases, the Windows operating system will
prevent you from doing any operation on such files and folders. By adding a
special context menu, you can quickly get full access to the files and
folders.
RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors
and optimize system performance
Take Ownerhship Context Menu
NTFS is the standard file system of the Windows
NT operating system family. Starting with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6, it
supported the concept of permissions which can be configured to permit or
restrict access to files, folders, and other objects locally and over a
network.
By default, almost all system files, system
folders and even Registry keys in Windows 10 are owned by a special built-in
user account called "TrustedInstaller". Other user accounts are set to only read
the files.
As a user accesses each file, folder, registry
key, printer, or an Active Directory object, the system checks its permissions.
It supports inheritance for an object, e.g. files can inherit permissions from
their parent folder. Also every object has an Owner which is the user account
that can set ownership and change permissions.
If you are interested in managing NTFS
permissions, refer to the following article:
How to take ownership and get full access to
files and folders in Windows 10
To save your time, you can add the 'Take
Ownership' context menu. This will allow you to become the owner of the files
and to instantly grant full access permissions to the files or
folders.
Before proceeding, ensure that your user account
has administrative privileges. Now, follow the instructions below.
Download the following ZIP archive: Download ZIP
archive.
Extract its contents to any folder. You can place the files directly
to the Desktop.
Unblock the files.
Double click on the
Add_Take_Ownership_context_menu.reg file to merge it.
To remove the entry
from the context menu, use the provided file
Remove_Take_Ownership_context_menu.reg.
You are done!
How it works
The context menu opens a new
PowerShell instance as Administrator, and sequentially executes the following
commands.
takeown /f - the command will change
ownership for the selected object to the current user account. For directories,
it will be executed with the arguments /r /d y. /r stand for recursive in order
to process subfolders. The /d y argument is the default answer used when the
current user does not have the "list folder" permission on a
directory.
icacls /grant *S-1-3-4:F - the command gives the
full access permissions to the current owner of the file system object (which is
set to your current user account with the previous command). SID: S-1-3-4 is a
well-known security identifier that represents the current owner of the object.
When an ACE that carries this SID is applied to an object, the system ignores
the implicit READ_CONTROL and WRITE_DAC permissions for the object
owner.
That's it.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go
dodgers!
I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason
is that somebody screwed up.

Re: sending the full amount of money through pay pal
I am doubtful that it's an appreciable difference for small transactions such as the kind I gave a receipt for below, hardly worth the trouble.
Besides, as I said, 0.91 Euro may be the currency rate now. Back on August 13, it could very well have been what my receipt says it was, 0.8613 Euro. It's not that much different from 0.91 Euro. It could have gone a lot higher and lower in the past few weeks just by daily currency exchange fluctuations.

I would know if I had been charged. I read those email receipts from PayPal, and I save all of them. I also check my bank account regularly to keep track of what has gone out and what has come in. There has never been a transaction charge, and there has never been a currency conversion charge in the case when I pay in Euros or some other foreign currency. Foreign currency in this case means Non-U.S. currency.

Re: sending the full amount of money through pay pal
Hmmm, what you say may very well be true, but it raises another question. If that were the case, why would they tell you that they're charging you a fee, as per your agreement, but not tell me that they're charging a fee as per my agreement?
They can always charge the business the fee, and not the consumer. Since they aren't telling me that they're charging me a fee, I'll bet that's what they're actually doing. Rules may be different for different countries.
And currency rates can change quite a bit from day to day.

I have never been charged for currency conversion, or had to pay any fee on top of the price I pay for the item.
I would know if I had been charged. I read those email receipts from PayPal, and I save all of them. I also check my bank account regularly to keep track of what has gone out and what has come in. There has never been a transaction charge, and there has never been a currency conversion charge in the case when I pay in Euros or some other foreign currency. Foreign currency in this case means Non-U.S. currency.

Troy, if you're NOT PAYING for GOODS AND SERVICES on Paypal, you're
essentially sending me money as a friend or family member. Make that choice
on Paypal and NO RED CENT shall be deducted from whatever you send to the
recipient.
One caveat before I run: If you're sending money to someone outside the

the money being sent into the currency in use in the recipient's country.

Re: sending the full amount of money through pay pal
They just charge the fee and add it. I bet the conversion rate is much better. a dollar is alot more than than 68 euro cents.

Re: Access Denied, How To Access
I'm not at all sure this has to do with the
procedures you are describing. I don't know. The first thing I would
do is try setting UAC to 0. Then see what happens. After working In
these folders, set UAC to where it was before.

As the power comes through the adapter, it is. That means its
fine, and you can send it with a little piece to change the plug
prongs.

Hi,
Are you sure the drive doesn't support 110-240 volts? Many
appliances can
use any voltage, like iphone chargers, where you only need one
to change the

drive large enough, 5tb is the largest portable drive I can find and I don't
have one of them to send and it isn't large enough anyway. Suggestions
are welcome. Walter.
