I have a Polish PP account and the bank accounts linked to it are Polish too, but they are in different currencies: EUR, USD, PLN. When I try to transfer USD to my account in USD, PP converts the currency to PLN. How can I avoid it? I don't want PP converting it to PLN cause then the bank will have to convert it again to USD and I'm gonna lose a lot of money.

Your account will only manage 1 currency. Keep your US$ in your bank acocunt if you want them to remain as US$.

What I'm saying is that my principal currency on PP is USD and one of my bank accounts connected to PP is in USD but the bank is in Poland where the main currency is PLN. When I want to transfer money from PP to the real bank account it keeps automatically converting the money to PLN.

The bank is in Poland, so that is expected; funds need to be converted to PLN for withdrawl to your country's currency.

The account is in a Polish bank but is in USD... So what is going to happen is that PP will convert the USD to PLN and then it will have to be converted again...
I will lose twice.

You could check with your local bank to find out what they require so incoming funds would go to the US$ account. Another option might be to establish a local bank account that is ONLY in US$ and then use that account.

you guys are not reading what he is asking-
He is in Poland and he has a paypal account in US dollars.
Then he linked 3 Polish bank accounts to his PAYPAL account,one of them is in US dollars.
When he transfer his US $ from his paypal account to his Polish bank account denominated in US $,Paypal is converting it first to Polish currency,then the bank has to convert it back to US dollars and deposit it into his US $ bank account.
He does not want this silly conversion,he wants the transfer from US dollars (Paypal) to his US$ bank account,NO CONVERSION.

If Paypal cant do it,then why not let Paypal convert to Polish PLN and deposits it into your bank account denominated in Polish PLN.
And when the exchange rate is favorable to PLN,convert it to US dollars and transfer it into your US $ denominated account.
