Paypal is making the transactions in another currency. How can I configure my paypal so it only charges transactions in US$ dollars currency?

Hello @smunkel,
Welcome! Thank you for visiting PayPal's Community Forum. Sorry to hear there's some confusion regarding which currency is being used. First, I'd make sure your primary currency is set to USD. Next for outgoing payments, you'll want to double-check USD is chosen as you complete your payment. Please be aware that if your card's default currency is another currency, you may still experience a conversion. You can contact our Customer Support teams to update your card's default currency on PayPal.
I hope that helps!
