If you're buying cards from magic cardmarket and you live in the UK then I have worked out the break even point between paypal and transferwise is about 20 quid. If you're paying less than that use paypal, more than that use transferwise (by about 3.8 pence in the pound). So you save 38 pence spending £30 over transferwise.
Transferwise charge £1.
Magic cardmarket add a paypal fee of 0.35 euros plus 5% of the transaction amount.
Update: I realise I am bad at maths. The equality point = 20 * exchange rate - 7.
So when exchange rate = 1.3099 then the equality is at 19.20. When the exchange rate is better Paypal gets better and Transferwise gets worse.
