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.

If you have tried this and it does not work for you, oh well.  Maybe clear your browser cache/cookies and attempt it again.

Same problem I have. If I check out from my national eBay site (ebay.it) the option to change the exchange rate does not even appear. If I check out from the US site (paypal.com) the option does appear, but when I try to use it I get the message "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later": Cesare from Italy

Interestinglty, the Conditions of Use for Italian users have been modified and do NOT allow anymore the possibility of charging a credit card directly in the seller's currency, but force instead to use Paypal's own conversion method.
I have set a complaint to my bank, to VIA and to mastercard; let's see what happens.
