Always make sure your Ewallet currency is the same as your account currency on your pokersite to avoid double transaction fees. I've spend way to much money on conversion fees myself. I have a Skrill account in USD and an EURO (my home currency) Neteller account. Unibet is a nice example of a site where you don't have to face conversion costs, your account currency is in euro but you're allowed to deposit through skrill/neteller with a bunch of currency options and it will be converted at a fair rate.

Well I'd speak with someone different as they have cancelled all fees.What I meant by don't use neteller is.....there are 100% no fees for Skrill or debit cards,so don't use an wallet that causes PP to charge you.

Yep they have exchange fees. Also if for example your account is in GBP, when you register for a USD tournament, they will again take a fee for exchanging it into $$. Make sure your account is in the same currency as the lobby. It's a very stealthy one I only found out about recently

@SJLogic Im not using Neteller because i fucking love it, i use it cause im from Norway and its one of my only options since Norwegian gambling policy is very strict.

Like others said the only way to circumvent the exchange rates is to have your e-wallet currency the same as poker room currency. You can try to talk with your poker room and/or e-wallet support and ask to change the account currency but this may not be possible depending on the T&C of particular e-wallet/poker room.
