PayPal - why?
Comments

The option to change the conversion method is there on the payment screen, but it's not clear, and takes quite a few clicks to change it over, but fortunately it does then remember the setting for that card.
I was caught out the first time I linked a new card to PayPal - didn't think to check the conversion option, got charged in GBP, and felt very silly.0 -
I never have any problems with the payment account used. I have one credit card registered, and that's the one they have to use.I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.0

Likewise Steve, that's the sole point of PayPal isn't it? That said don't most online retailers use encrypted payment software now anyway, thereby rendering PayPal completely pointless?Shakin_Steve wrote: »The only reason I use PayPal is so that the merchant does not have a copy of my card details on their database. If you're only going to use a merchant once, as I did this week for some gardening stuff, then you really don't want your payment details sitting in their files for ever (or until someone eventually gets hold of them)0
