USD?

I live in the UK, the people that have bought items from me on Ebay are in the UK. Why is my account showing in US dollars? And why when I try to transfer MY money into my bank account does it only show one transaction? I've sold three items with a fourth waiting for the end of the auction. I want the FULL amount in UK sterling. It's ridiculous.

Thanks for the help but I've done that and it's still showing £12.36, it should be £13. It's still being converted. And it's only showing 1 payment. I've had 4 that need transferring but I'm not transferring them untill it's the right amount.

I've had this account for over five years and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with it. It's fine when I paid for an item on 31st May so it just seems to be the incoming payments. I don't understand it.
