Sorry if the title fooled you a little bit, but it is not actually a scam. Have you noticed ebay and paypal have different rate conversion for currencies? I have only noticed this recently, especially for expensive items where you really can tell the difference.
I use ebay.ca and there is always a fluctuation between cad and usd. Recently the cdn dollar has been strong so on my ebay.ca page it shows approx. $1.03usd/$1cad but when I go pay thru paypal, it says $0.989../$1cad.
I know they make money off the rate conversions but do they really have to boost the ebay site that much? When you are using ebay.ca, they really make you feel things are cheaper if the auction is in usd.
Sorry for going on this stupid rant. I just hate myself a little more each time for using ebay or paypal.
