We are in a bit of a weird situation where we are having to list in USD as thats apparently mandatory but selling/working in GBP as we reside in the UK & are British. It seems the conversion rate USD to GBP fluctuates most days & the pricelist we have (GBP) differs to what is shown as the price from entering the correct USD price on that day. We need to be able to approve sales before they happen it would seem so we are not selling at a loss. I think we’ve set it up correctly but not entirely sure. Also if we do it this way can we edit the price of the item for checking out if its incorrectly shown in GBP to correct it? Very very confused. Thank you for your help. New on here but been selling elsewhere for a long time. Takes a while to get used to a new set up.

In the bottom left corner of most Bonanza webpages, there is a link that allows you to set the country and currency for your location. Simply use that and enter your prices in GBP. Then, if someone from the USA purchases your items, they will see the USD price when viewing your booth and purchasing. Let PayPal or credit card companies worry about the exchange rate. That way, you will get the proper GBP prices that you need for the sale even if the exchange rate varies.
It would be far easier if you could decide for each item what shipping costs (your actual GBP prices) you will have to charge when shipping to USA, and possibly put those into your listing descriptions.
Or, you could set up your listings so that every sale must be approved by you. This gives you a chance to determine shipping costs allowing you and the buyer to negotiate on the total cost of the sale. Warning…. you will lose sales because buyers won’t want to fuss with waiting for you to get back to them with shipping costs.
