Thank you sir! it was there, i lost a great deal because of this issue. Now is fixed and did get a new "deal" just not that good as the one i lost. thanks thanks. @Dan03 wrote: I didn't read every single reply but as people are still suggesting to change the base currency of their credit card I assume many people still don't know how to properly bill their card in the currency of the seller (any currency used) so will share the solution that I found that works. Hope this can help a few people. Go to: - SETTINGS - PAYMENTS - MANAGE PREAPPROVED PAYMENTS - SET AVAILABLE FUNDING SOURCES - CONVERSION OPTIONS - BILL ME IN THE CURRENCY LISTED ON THE SELLERS INVOICE Yes, it is quite obvious that paypal have made that as well hidden as possible... In case you still have trouble here is a video with it, although slightly outdated. https://youtu.be/CcVvvDgoqsw?t=6m41s (skip to the 6:41 to see how to do it) I also noticed in the video that when contacted paypal also refunded the fees to this person so recommend everyone to also get in touch and see if they can refund you some of the money that they have taken. Just remember then to pay in ebay by choosing paypal, change, and then choose your credit card (it should no longer say anything about exchange rates next to it). DO NOT use the other credit card option in ebays payment page as that appears to still be applying the exchange rate. Hope this can help some people avoid paying these stupidly huge fees. Side note/advice. For people who don't have a credit card that offers interbank rates with no fees check out revolut app. You can exchange money with literally 0% fee. This can also be a backup if somehow the above method doesn't work, you can transfer money to revolut, exchange, then bank transfer to paypal in the currency you wish. You will get exactly the amount that it says on xe.com (haven't tried in US or Canada).
