I live in Canada and have a CAD and USD Bank account as many others, I need to do a purchase in USA so I want to pay with my USD currency available. I just called Paypal to reconfirm it was possible but unfortunately was useless calling them and even reconfirming them that Paypal is making the currency exchange conversion at their convenience based on the location of where your account is. So what do I need or use Paypal for? What is the advantage of using Paypal compare with a Credit Card? The answer to those questions to me at the phone were: ok, is more secure! we'll reimburse you in case of a dispute. But base on other posts I've been reading here all these not seems to happen in reality. So watch out my friends or think it twice at the time of purchasing/selling via Paypal as they are also a currency exchange actor!
