I have made some purchase today just to test it but works OK. They must have changed something in their system recently because now they are not even proposing their exchange rate but pulling the setting from my PayPal account where I have deselected using Paypal exchange rate. So no problem for now Although Christmas is comming and they could do prevent the selection as last year for several weeks. ... View more

I didn't make any video, only have a screenshot of the PayPay window message where is written that the service is not available. From last week is working again but during Crismass holidays for period of two-three weeks there was no option to make the payments in other currency except using the PayPal exchange rates. In this way they gained more than 10% on each transaction. I started to make the payment using my credit card but 'sharpiemarker' has send the way arround that has worked. ... View more

Thank you very very much, this has worked  But I am sure that they will block it as soon as they finds out. It is interesting that for last 10 days  when you try  to change the exchange rate option using the 'normal' checkout  it pops up the new PayPal window where is written; '' Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later.'' I have tried to make a payment during day, evening, night... every time the same pop up. So this is now  theirs new exchange rate default  page. Poor people do not have any choice but to pay using their way. So sad to be slave of money, rich wants more and more and more, until they burst. Thank again ... View more

I have to inform all on the forums that PayPal from a week ago has blocked all possibilities to make payments in other currency excepting using THEIRS exchane rates. I have started to use the other way of payments because I am outraged on their greed.  ... View more
