Foreign Currency

I've put some items from a seller in Hong Kong in my basket & had searched for the items using the ebay UK site. However, I notice when I try to pay that the payment system is breaking my order down in to separate lots, stating that some of the items I wish to buy are in foreign currency. Some are Australian dollars, some USA dollars & some Sterling.

Will I have to pay exchange rates to paypal for the dollar transactions?
The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Yes, that's why it is broken down by currency. You will see the sterling amount immediately before you pay.
