Paypal question

I'm trying to pay for an item from the U.S. The item cost is 37.00 USD which is just over £18

The funds in my paypal acccount are 47.93 GBP.
Todays exchange rate is. 1 British Pound = 1.94164 USD

When i get to paypal checkout to pay for the item under Payment Method it says something about an eCheque will be sent to the seller,

eCheque: £19.06 GBP from Lloyds tsb Bank Account xxxxxx3660
PayPal's Exchange Rate as at 5 Apr. 2008:
1 British Pound = 1.94164 US Dollars



Obviously more than enough funds are in my account, so why would it be sending an echeque ?

thanks in advance.

    It may be the seller doesn't have a paypal account

    perhaps you need to convert your funds from sterling to US dollars which is done through your paypal account "Manage Currency"
