Question for Canadian Paypal users
 

I have a question for Canadians using Paypal.

Today, I opened a new bank account at National Bank of Canada which is in USD currency. My objective was to use this account to withdraw my USD funds from Paypal without having to withdraw them to my main bank account which is in CAD (then I would have to convert my USD funds into CAD). However, when I tried to add this bank account in Paypal, it said that Canadian customers could only add bank accounts in CAD and all money withdrawed would be automatically converted to CAD...

Is any Canadian here able to withdraw USD money from Paypal without having to convert to CAD ?

PS: I tried to make this as simple as possible eventhough I may not have succeeded :1orglaugh

Open a USD account in the US.
Or get the debit card and only take cash out of American bank machines.

Do you know any American bank that lets people open an account over phone ?
