I moved to Japan from the US. I had a PayPal account. I’m not sure if my PayPal account in Japan can even link to my US Bank. The currency options in Japan are only in YEN. I’m wondering if I can pay and receive in USD. If I can, is there a conversion charge to me? What does my payee see in terms of currency and converted value seeing as how my account is in Japan? Is it all done on-the-fly by the PayPal system? Seems like this is a feature of a Professional PayPal account and not a basic one. A basic one seems to work best within a same country/same currency scenario.

Once you set up your PayPal account in Japan, can you pay out or receive money in US dollars? It seems the only currency is YEN. I wonder what the payee in America sees when they pay you? Maybe they see only dollars but you pay a fee for the conversion to Yen? On the other side, you want to pay someone in the US $25.00....do you estimate the conversion in Yen and hope for the best?
