Canadian paypal to pay for a us bonanza item?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Hi all!
I have a customer who currently lives in FLA, but has her Canadian PayPal account she needs to pay for my item with.
I want 90.00 for the item. She converted it to Canada dollars and got 111.00 and she thinks I need to change the price of the item to 111.00 US to ensure that I get the correct asking amount.
I thought PayPal would convert auto-magically, so I have been Googling, but not finding the exact answer to my question. Is she correct? Do I need to edit the price in my listing to reflect the dollar conversion?

Thanks, as always, for any help you can provide!
Kind regards,
LuLu

I wouldn’t change it. Put a higher price in and Bonanza will charge more fees and so will PayPal. I would think her PayPal would convert the amount to the correct currency if she put it in correctly. If I were you I would contact PayPal and ask them about it. But if your listing was in US dollars then that is what she should be paying otherwise she should have contacted you first.

That is good advice. I’m going to ensure it goes smoothly for her by reaching out to PayPal to confirm the automatic conversion. I feel like the payment system must convert, but I want to be sure. Thanks so much for the rapid reply! :)

that was really considerate of her…but it is not necessary to change the price……

unlike a recent buyer wanted me to change my paypal settings to accept his currency….mine is set up to accept on USD. I leave the currency conversion to buyer and their accounts…

You could change the setting on Paypal to accept her type of currency for that one sale and then change back. Only had to do that once but it worked fine and I lost no money.
