Chhosing Payment Currency for Ebay Payments

Hi,

 

I just bought an item on Ebay from an international seller, priced in Euros. I have set the primary currency in my PayPal account to Euros, but even though the item cost on the Ebay checkout page is shown in Euros the PayPal payment dialogue says that PayPal has converted to GBP. I want the payment to be taken in Euros, as the card I'm using has a much better exchange rate thatn PayPal is using. Using PayPal's lousy rate will cost me roughly £15.

 

Is there any way to force PayPal not to do the conversion but to charge me in the original currency?

 

Thanks,
Chris

No..., for me, if I click on the card, it empties the card detail I need to re-enter them. Cannot find anywhere to change the currency
