It shows how you never even read my reply, or you would not get so political on me if you did and understood that I am NOT AMERICAN. I could not care less about what president you people have. Unlike for you guys, for me I always get Paypal trying to pay in my country's currency using their conversion method. And this only comes up in non-hungarian payments since in my country pretty much nobody uses paypal, bank transfers are preferred. However for sending money out of the country, I really have not seen anything that's cheaper. Definitely not in the mood to go back to the horrible convoluted ways of money transfer via Western Union in 2004 or so.

Kidding? Aliexpress is mostly selling knockoffs and yeah, I buy KO toys from there sometimes but that's all it is good for. Not for buying original G1 Transformers or other older toys. Maybe it is simpler to pay with card if you are within the USA but outside of it, Paypal is the best method for payment. I certainly prefer it to giving my card information to websites that can be hacked.

So, not sure if this helps... I can generally pay using not my local currency of HUF but in EUR or USD by selecting the option "pay in the seller's currency" in the Ebay popup window. But when I pay on Ebay, this is NOT in the popup. I only found out now that I have to click the tiny letters "change currency" under the option where I select payment type on the left side of the screen in Ebay, before logging into paypal and opening the popup window. Then, it STILL shows my local HUF currency, but the option appears in the popup to switch to USD, and use the card conversion rates. They sure are making this needlessly complicated.
