[PayPal] benefits of using $ from a USD account vs. Credit Card?
sorry, the subject line might be a bit unclear. i swear there was a thread somewhere on RFD that broke this down, but i can't for the life me find it.
here's the situation:
my PayPal account has a Canadian credit card and an E-Savings USD account at RBC linked to it.
are there any benefits to:
1. transferring money from the e-savings USD account to my PayPal balance, and then making purchases that way?
2. having PayPal pull the funds from the E-Savings USD account directly?
3. straight up using a Credit Card?
if 1. or 2. would i save on any conversion or other costs or fees? i believe my CC would double the manufacturer's warranty by two years, but then i'll need to pay forex, etc.
