    I don't think so that there is much difference in both terms. For e.g. if you convert 1200 SGD to INR then it'll approx 48393 INR and if you convert 1200 SGD to USD then it'll approx 919 USD which convert in INR approx 48335 INR.

    Its better to keep everything in one currency. If you transfer the funds from one to other you have to pay conversion fee.

    What you shall do is log in to your paypal account, click profile near the top of the page > My money >Currencies (next to PayPal balance), and then enter the amount under Currency Exchange and click Calculate. Then, you can get the amount of the currency after exchange
