I'm helping my church to set up a business account. We are in Winnipeg, Canada. There is some confusion and some members of our board are saying that PayPal is in US funds only, so there is always a conversion from Candian donations to USD. I think that's wrong based on my personal experience. It seems that if you set up an accout in PayPal and you live in Canada, the default currency is Canadian. So donations in CND wouldn't need to convert at all. Can someone please confirm this, and also confirm the method / procedure we need to do in order to ensure that our account is Canadian? Is providing an address in Canada enough, or do we need to go to "a Canadian PayPal site" (I'm thinking that it's like Amazon.com vs. Amazon.ca)? Thanks!
