Paypal conversion question

I have a buyer who purchased 2 items. I sent a PayPal invoice so that they would not have to do 2 transactions. Today they sent me a [URL removed] “The invoice is in $ – is it possible to pay it in £ sterling?”

Does anyone know if the invoice will give the buyer the choice? I have my setting as [URL removed]

Actually, by have the setting
“Ask Me, decide accepting or denying each individual payment”

Means that you are being asked if you will accept £ sterling. Some people keep an amount of foreign currency in their paypal if they deal with a international sales a lot.

If you say yes, you will receive payment in £ sterling and will be responsible for the conversion rate if you wish to change it to USD.

It would be better to have the setting in which you will only accept USD, then the buyer will have to be responsible for the conversion of the currency

It would probably be better if you read [URL removed]

Okay, so I should change it to " No, deny the payments " ?

I believe so, but read the information from the link above to know for sure

When they open up their paypal account, it will auto adjust to the country they have the account in for monetary payment. The invoice sent from Bonanza will show dollars but when it comes time for them to actually pay…they will be doing it in pounds.

When you receive your payment…it will be in dollars.

They are paying off of a PayPal invoice instead of the Bonanza invoice. Does it matter?

I presume your payment is set up for paypal…so they will be paying via paypal…but do NOT deny payment…just let them pay via paypal and it will be sorted
