Same problem I have. If I check out from my national eBay site (ebay.it) the option to change the exchange rate does not even appear. If I check out from the US site (paypal.com) the option does appear, but when I try to use it I get the message "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later": Cesare from Italy
