Hi Arle, I just checked Paypal and the following currencies are available: Buy and sell globally with PayPal's Multiple Currencies feature. Use your current PayPal account to make or accept payments in: Canadian DollarsEurosPounds SterlingU.S. DollarsYenAustralian DollarsNew Zealand DollarsSwiss FrancsHong Kong DollarsSingapore DollarsSwedish KronorDanish KronerPolish ZlotyNorwegian KronerHungarian ForintCzech KorunaI have used it for years. I have to admit that I have never sent money to Hungary, but I sent to England, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, and Canada. The fee structure for European countries is higher than for us. The "Buyer" doesn't pay more, but the seller gets hit fairly hard. You can check out the fees they pay here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside&countries=EU
