How can I keep as much of my money as possible?

Hi guys, so I do freelance-style work online for a contractor but they pay me in USD to paypal, and that is the only payment method. Obviously my day-to-day is in GBP and if I want to withdraw to a bank account then PayPal burns me with high fees for conversions and other things.

I have tried looking into ways I can withdraw to a USD bank account and then convert from there like a wise account. But I am not sure how to get it setup with Paypal.

Does anyone know a way to do it so I can keep more of the money I make?
Neither the app or the website gives me an option to add a USD bank account and PayPal help services said they couldn't do it either.
