Hello!
I have Master Card in zloty (PLN) and i want to pay in the Polish online-store in zloty (PLN). when i try to do it via PayPal, it says that i can pay in USD only. As i have already told, my bank account is in zloty (PLN). So, PayPal wants to make double convertation PLN - USD - PLN. Don't see the reason of it. How can i change it? I want to pay in PLN without convertation.
When i was searching the solution in FAQ, it tells to go to "My Money" etc.... I even don't have it in my interface((((
Hope for your rapid response
Thank you

Is your PayPal account opened in PayPal Poland site? Sometimes people mistakenly open account in wrong country. You can check this by going to Profile > Account Options > Nationality
Is your primary balance in the PayPal account in Zloty? You can check this by going to the Wallet page, click PayPal Balance > Manage Currencies
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I've tried to do that but that function is not available in my profile((
and actually, is there connection between the nationality and the bank account in specific currency? it would mean i can have account only in the currency of my nationality?! wierd enough!

Not sure if these steps still work but try it:
1. Go to the checkout, choose PayPal and fill out your login information.
2. Instead of selecting your card and the conversion options, click on Switch account (click arrow next to exchange rate) and DON'T fill anything in.
3. Open a new browser tab, go to paypal.com and log in to your account.
4. Switch back to previous tab and fill out your PayPal login information again.
5. You will be redirected to the older version of checkout, where the conversion options is working.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
