Bump. I would like to know why this is the case too. When I go on ebay (which seems to follow the market), the Canadian currency is clearly higher in value than the USD, yet on Paypal they are almost the same. For example, 174 USD is 169 CAD.

Why should I pay the seller extra if it worth less in my own currency? It makes no sense whatsoever.
