But if you might have and there's no urgency, don't do the conversion now, you can always do it later.
I have a similar balance in USD (my primary balance in HKD) - a separate Paypal account in fact - but there's plenty of payments I can make in USD.

Perhaps. I checked my email this morning though and it looks like the MXN transfer was a mistake; PayPal still thought the person was in Mexico and was treating the transaction as such. They triggered another transaction in USD so I'm going to go ahead and reject this one.
