Recently won an item. Seller is in Australia. In my summary it has the Australian amount but when I go to pay through Paypal
it converts a US amount to Australian dollars and it is approx $15.00 more due to the Paypal conversation rate.
I'm have contacted Ebay who advised that it's due to the seller located in US. Sent Ebay back the description where the seller is located in Australia., I'm not going to pay extra for that privledge.

The seller is in Australia and the listing was on Ebay USA. In my summary it has it in Australian Dollars only.

If the listing was on ebay.com then the seller has to be paid in US$ no matter where he/she is located.
Payent is always made in the currency of the listing site.

Good way for some scrupulous Australian sellers to make that little extra profit off their fellow countrymen with the lower exchange rates.

How is that?
Scrupulous sellers wouldn't do it, and unless you are going to use the $US the fees on currency conversion would eat up any supposed profit. Which there wouldn't be as the funds are converted at the prevailing exchange rate, not one-for-one.
I'm sure if they could predict exchange rate variations that well they would be Forex traders, anyway.

I've noticed many alleged seller locations are not where they purport to be. It's more than common with Asian sellers who list their items as being located in Australia, or Sydney or Melbourne etc, but when they arrive they've been sent from China or Korea or whatever. It's a practise that should be prohibited by eBay.
