hello Guys!
anyone here using paypal ?
because last 2 days i use my friend's paypal account to made payment to HLJ,
my friend told me 7860YEN exchange to RM393 after he confirm payment...
i was get shock because the exchange rate at last 2 weeks is only 1MYR = 27JPY
and now 1MYR = 20JPY ...
so i have to pay extra RM100++ if compare to previously exchange rate...it's very big different..
did anyone face this problem before??

1. Exchange rate fluctuates everyday... So, don't compare with old rate... it doesn't help~!
2. Keep in mind that paypal has 2.5% charges on conversion rate. Still better than exchange rate by credit card / bank...
So, let it be lesson to learn when it comes to buying from Japan...
Price may look good now, but may not be good at the time of payment~!
Other solution is to order it from local shop/seller... no price change even though yen rate fluctuates...
