Thank you very much! I ran into PayPal UI hell today. I kept clicking on the conversion options link under the PayPal charge in USD on a new VISA credit card, and selecting "use my card issuers rate", hit agree, and PayPal STILL showed it in USD. No matter what!

It particularly drove me nuts because an older VISA card automatically kept to Euros, just like I was used to. I got to the PayPal classic site views, but still couldn't find anyway to set it.

I had to cancel the charge and pay outside of PayPal.

This valuable link let me go and set the new card to the Seller's Invoice currency. Thank goodness! I have other charges coming soon that I will probably have to pay through PayPal, and I really wanted to use this new VISA card.

At least both cards match now. I'm expecting to be OK with the next charge.
