I have to inform all on the forums that PayPal from a week ago has blocked all possibilities to make payments in other currency excepting using THEIRS exchane rates. I have started to use the other way of payments because I am outraged on their greed.

Where exactly did you make the change in your PayPal account? Was it during a previous checkout? 'Cause I know I did set my preferences at checkout before on another website besides eBay, but on eBay, it doesn't obey that preference. It's instead imposing PayPal's exchange rate.

Ok, I just tried again today on eBay and yeah, it's now letting me choose who I want doing the credit card conversion. It still defaulted to the PayPal exchange rate, but now, when I click the link showing the conversion rate, it now shows another link for covnersion rate options. Glad that nonsense is fixed and hope them sneaky devils never try it again...
