I'm just looking to get some walking around money at a discount and at the same time allow someone to conveniently unload some Euros - including coins.
I will use a credit card for most purchases since that offers the best exchange rate.

Yes and you get FF miles or cash-backs with CCs. Visa and MC used to charge fees, but no longer. I never paid an out of network fee with Schwab but I always use bank ATMs as I do not trust the others - anywhere.
The thing is you are looking to buy from a seller who is not necessarily looking to sell. You are asking them to do you a favor, not the other way round. To expect such a sizable discount, much less any discount, seems a little presumptuous IMHO.
