Buying from ebay in USD

in Credit cards
I would like to buy something from the US via ebay with my Halifax Clarity card (0% commission and mastercard exchange rate) rather than having paypals conversion rates from USD/GBP.


Does anyone know how I achieve this?


I vaguely remember in the past a small link with "currency options" but when ebay takes you to paypal I don't see anything.


Can anyone advise?

    I believe I have successfully done this by changing my primary currency in my wallet to USD for the transaction.

    Don't forget the import charges, the bargain is often more expensive when factoring in Customs and excise.
