Am I the only one frustrated by eBay's misleading currency conversion?
Most of the time its not a lot of money but as I purchase more expensive items from overseas it becomes a bigger concern, particularly in USD.
Considering eBay owns Paypal there should be a lot better fluency,
Ill give you an example below;
One item i ordered was listed
US $131.96
AU $127.77
+ US $39.99
AU $38.72
postage
So thats $171.95 USD
and $166.49 AUD according to eBay.
As for the Paypal transaction
$171.95 US turns into $172.15 AUD
Now forgetting what the actual exchange rate is at the moment and how little amount that example shows, it feels misleading, you go off eBays conversion only to find your paying more by Paypal, even when Paypal is owned by eBay. It should be more universal, fluid.
Im about to buy a much more expensive item of eBay from the US, but all im concerned about is how much more Paypal is actually going to charge me!
Anyone else share this concern?
