CHARGING IN BRAZILIAN REAL

[savageo]

Hello..

Days ago, I bougth some things on eBay from US sellers, but when I saw my statement bank, I noticed they charged me a fee for the conversion of Brazilian Real to US Dollar...

I do not know why is happening that, when in my all other purchases in the past I never had been any problem of that tipe.

I do not know why eBay is charging in Brazilian Real instead in US Dollar...

I am a US Buyer, and I buy from US seller...

Thank you !!!

DOES IT COME UP TO 2 1/2%,that will be Paypal conversion fee.

If you are in Brazil and your local currency is in real and you are buying from US seller who accepts US dollars,then paypal converts your real to US $.

where did you open your Paypal account,wha country did you use?

are you in USA now?

and where is your bank?

best is to review your Paypal account for buying and selling

I opened my paypal account in the US.

I am in the US.

My account Bank was opened in the US, with a US Bank.

My actual currency is the US Dollar in my paypal account settings and I used the US as my country when I paid.

That is the problem I have, and when my Bank charge my purchase from Paypal, he charge me also a fee for the conversion from Brazilain Real to US Dollar...

did you pay with bank fund or credit card?

why do you keep saying  converting from real to us dollar?

you are the buyer,you pay with US dollar,so it should be from us dollar to real,not the other way round?

I called yesterday and spent 30 minutes over the phone for $1.14 in difference. Not a large amount but it is the principle. I was assured that it was corrected going forward. Guess what? It's still doing it today. With the advent of virtual credit card numbers once I get all my money credited I will be closing out my account for buying purposes. This is major league fraud, I just happened to notice that the amounts were different. How many thousands/millions will this happen to? Great way to be padding the bottom line. This is against all banking and consumer laws.

do you mean from us dollars into real? since you are the buyer and paying with US dollars?

Could your seller from Brazil?is there an Ebay Brazil and your seller opts to make his listing visible on Ebay USA?
