More great news for CDN collectors!

I'm not bothered by this because I always use the US funds in my PP account to pay for my purchases.

How do they become "US funds"?
If you're Canadian, you deposit CANADIAN funds into your PayPal, then they're converted to US funds with the increased conversion fees as mentioned....correct?

Exactly how I think it happens so I am curious what samosa4 means?

I'm confused (not an unusual occurence)....I'm Canadian also, but I have a US $ bank account and a US$ credit card. The credit card is linked to my PayPal account and that is how I make payments on PayPal and then I pay my credit card bill from my US $ bank account. From time to time I purchase or otherwise obtain US$ and deposit it into my US$ bank account. Do you guys not do the same? or I am missing something?

Perhaps he is also a seller. Possibly collects in USD and doesn't convert, thus buying from the same account?

Ebay no longer allows Canadian sellers to list in US funds, I believe.

Anything I have purchased from CDN sellers is always listed in U.S. dollars.

I have seen CDN dollars listed if I don't log in to E-Bay, but it always shows you what you're really going to pay, in U.S. dollars, right below/beside it.

I have 1 account with 2 mailing addresses (Toronto & Dallas) and having a US based mailing address allows me to list in USD.

You answered the question yourself... You're Canadian with an American bank account.
The majority of Canadians do not have American bank accounts, hence, they have to deposit Canadian funds into their PayPal account, with again, the mentioned conversion fees applying.
