<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2905501, member: 76181&quot;]Interesting. I just went through an exercise with PayPal trying to pay Roma for my aureus. The credit card company shut me down several times because the total was over $5k US.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good thing those first tries failed, because I saw the currency conversion rate that PayPal was using. It was 4% higher than what I was seeing for actual exchange rates on-line. To be clear, this is not the 3.5% fee that Roma charges for PayPal/Credit Card use. This was a currency exchange rate that had a 4% skew to it (In PayPals favor)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you dont know already (I forgot), there is a currency conversion link you can click, before you complete your transaction through PayPal. It gives you the option of using your credit cards currency exchange rate. USE IT. They dont make it obvious..................for a good reason, they are ripping you off.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saved a couple hundred dollars by clicking that button. I&#039;m not sure how this affects the seller but I have to imagine they get their full due.</p><p><br /></p><p>btw I stopped using bank transfers because my bank was hitting me for a currency conversion rate also. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p><br /></p><p>M[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
