It seems PayPal is determined on forcing ebayers to pay them their controversial exchange rates

TO THOSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM: WRITE TO THE FTC .. FEDERAL TRADE COMISSION. TELL THEM THAN PAYPAL IS VIOLATING USA ANTICOMPETETIVE LAW. YOU CAN JUST SEARCH FOR FTC WEBSITE BY GOOGLE, AND WRITE A COMPLAINT THAT PAYPAL IS FORCING YOU TO ACCEPT THEIR CONTROVERSIAL EXCHANGE RATE.
One vigilante-type tactic you can adopt is to use Mastercard every time, because Mastercard allows for chargeback even after you opted into DCC http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...l#post25617202

You need to find an issuer willing to chargeback Paypal for everything and anything. Might take a bit of trial and error.
