Hi, I hope i am on the right section. I purchased an item from AMazon about 3 weeks ago which has gone faulty and as you would expect from Amazon there is no problem just return for a refund. However i paid using sterling as i find Amazons Currency convertor costs a little more, my dilemma now is how do i avoid losing out…

However i paid using sterling as i find Amazons Currency convertor costs a little more, my dilemma now is how do i avoid losing out when the sterling is refunded to my visa as im sure like exchanging currency in the banks the buy and sell rates are always different. I would not mind if it was a small amount but i am talking over £800 sterling, if the rate differs only a few cent i could loose 60 - 80 euro!! Any ideas?:(

Refund will be done in original currency. It could swing in your favour. 80 squids seems excessive.
