Foreign exchange vs PayPal

Making a payment in Israel via PayPal

I'm I better off using PayPal currency exchange, or better pay in NIS and allow my credit card to do the exchange?
And if option b which cards / banks give the best exchange rates?

Banks have to give you the official visa/Mastercard (mid-market?) rate, PayPal will rip you off.

AsherO is right, PayPal will rip you off . I always choose “bank conversion” option .

Thank you all
Any specific bank or card?

No, conversion rate comes from visa/mastercard. Their rates almost the same.
Just make sure to use a card with “no foreign transaction fee”
