I bought a few items of ebay, and I did not get the choice of saying I would like to pay in the local currency during checkout. I have never had this problem before, and I would like to know why. not even when I tried to pay only via creditcard did I get that option.   Is it a problem with Ebay checkout, or with paypal??   This time it was my company account, and not my personal account, but I tried doing the same with my private account, and I still got the same result. Somehow the pay in local currency option is gone from checkout.   I would like to know if it's the paypal part of checkout or if it's the Ebay part of checkout that is blocking that option.   My personal account has always had that option, and at some time I even set it to always pay in local currency so I would use my bank as the currency exchange as it is way cheaper than Paypals exchange rate. ...

I have previously had my paypal accounts set to pay in local currecny when buying and paying on Ebay.  But today when purchasing something on Ebay, I couldn't pay in the local currecny which is GBP this time. I have never had any problems before paying in local currencies, but now it seems like I can't do that.   I have no interest in payin the large currecny exchange fees that paypal charges, I could have saved 4% on this small purchase, which in the long run is quite a lot of money if we add it all up...   Does anyone know where to find the setting that allows me to pay in local currencies again?? ...
