Paypal question

[mojito]

Thinking of signing up for one, but can someone tell me if currency conversion is easily handled? For example, if I wanna buy soccer stuff from the UK, does it convert dollars into sterling as part of the transaction, or do I have to hold sterling to begin with to do anything like that?

I've had a look on their site, but they dont really expand on this point.

Cheers

They will automatically convert it for you back to AUD.

They will automatically convert it for you back to AUD.

To clarify further, they'll convert it to AUD before you click the "confirm payment" button, so you know exactly what you're up for.

Your credit card or whatever may charge you some nominal forex fee as well.
