Disable currency conversion when transferring money from a bank

I'm paying in USD, so I'm trying to transfer some USD to my Paypal. However, when I transferred USD to my Paypal, Paypal received the amount in HKD instead. Afterwards, I need to manually convert the money from HKD back to USD, and I'm losing money in the process.

 

From my bank, I converted 1,575.74 HKD to exactly 200USD and sent it, but only 1,563.37 HKD was received, not even in USD.

 

From the Paypal activities, it lists:

 - Paid by: Bank account

 - Funding details:

               - Payment type: PayPal balance
               - Payment method: $1,563.37 HKD - PayPal account
 
What is going on? How do I stop this behaviour?
