Decimal Dot "." Instead Of Decimal Comma "'," As Separator

Greetings,

 

Would appreciate it if anyone could explain what is the reason that PayPal uses "," instead of "." as a decimal separator to mark the border between the integral and the fractional parts.

For example in most of the places when they want to write or enter "One Thousand Dollar" they write it this way:

$1,000.00

But in PayPal, it makes you confused, and you need to write it this way:

$1000,00 

 

For decimal separation, it is easier to read/use decimal dot "." instead of decimal comma "'," and avoid any mistakes while reading or entering the amount.
