Question Foreign conversion fee through Paypal?

Hi,
I made a search no this but could find much. I regularly pay for my Skype subscription and credit through Paypal. Recently I switched the card on my Paypal account from a Chase card to the US Bank WorldPerks card.
Chase never charged me any conversion fees for Skype purchases through Paypal.
US bank charged me a foreign conversion fee of 2%, claiming that since Skype Inc is based in UK it is a foreign charge.
My understanding was that when I pay through Paypal I would never get charged a foreign conversion fee since it is a US based company. Am I correct?

Thanks!
