Ok, I just tried again today on eBay and yeah, it's now letting me choose who I want doing the credit card conversion. It still defaulted to the PayPal exchange rate, but now, when I click the link showing the conversion rate, it now shows another link for covnersion rate options. Glad that nonsense is fixed and hope them sneaky devils never try it again...

Where exactly did you make the change in your PayPal account? Was it during a previous checkout? 'Cause I know I did set my preferences at checkout before on another website besides eBay, but on eBay, it doesn't obey that preference. It's instead imposing PayPal's exchange rate.

I'm facing a similar issue now on eBay. Before at the check out, could set whatever conversion rate I want to use (either paypal's greedy rate or my bank's) by clicking the link besides my credit card in eBay checkout. Now, that option just disappeared and it's forcing me to use that stupidly greedy PayPal conversation rate. Any hack around this d!ck money grab move? Or do we need to start a lawsuit against paypal for violation of their own terms of service which clearly state that we have the choice to choose?

Or do I need to abandon PayPal all together?
