At present our PayPal shopping cart asks for and receives payments in AUD, but I want to change it to USD ( which I believe is the default anyway), which we will nominate to our buyers - How do I change it back to the default please, as the USD is more widely known and affiliates like it s well.

Thankyou, Liz. I couldn't find 'options' but did find 'my settings'. However the only setting I was able to change was to make my primary currency USD instead of AUD. Does this do it? On my web site we state prices are in USD and the transaction goes through in $, but will it now be in USD?

USD is $, If you change it yes, it will go through as USD ($)

Liz,, I tried it and it still came through as AUD (Australian "Dollars) - PayPal show it as AUD before payment. I did change my primary currency to USD, prior to the trial purchase.
