I just payed for a merchantise, which is listed as $USD. I configured the payment by "AMAZON VISA CANADA".
I setup USD as primary currency and assume that paypal will charge USD against this credit card.
However paypal still charged me as CAD and do the currency conversion for me. I see lots in community that mentioned
there is currency conversion option you can use. But I can not find this "currency conversion option".
Can someone help?
What I want to do is: when I buy usd charged items, I need paypal to charge USD against my "amazon visa canada"
credit card.
thank you.

There is still this option. They are trying to hide from you, or at least not to make it conveniently available for you, so it requires a little more digging. You need to follow this: PayPal balance > Details > manage currencies > preapproved payments -> Update -> Available Funding Sources -> Conversion Options (for card you'd like to change this option)-> Bill me in the currency listed on the seller's invoice.

after spending a couple of hours, try this link to get your setting back for conversion options, this is a pernament setting for each credit card, use paypals exchange rate or billing in website currency. some people lost the ability in the new PAYPAL website, im being told. this a link that a supervisor at paypal sent me. you have to log in with your paypal account.

So the link(https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-merchant-pull-funding&buyer_hub) you provided does take me to the page mentioned but the "conversion options" doesn't exist for me. Can anyone confirm if this was changed recently? If it is, we must be able to do this another way right?

No conversion options for my Diners Club card.
Last 2 Paypal charges shows in EUR but my credit card statement shows charges in USD?!
Purchases were originally in EUR in an online shop within EU. And of course my credit card company now charged extra for the USD transactions, while all the EUR transactions don't have any extra charges of course since it's my cc's currency.
I just opened up a dispute chat with them to sort this out.
