Actually you can choose CC or bank rates for Paypal transactions by choosing 'Bill me in the currency listed in the seller's invoice' under Conversion Options. I always end up saving a few extra RM compared to using Paypal's rates.

Any idea how much lower is it for CC option?
Doesnt that option it take the current forex rate into account, like 3.2 now?

If its not lower than 2.9 per yen, I might as well continue with paypal.
They're stable and has been at 2.9, even when the forex went to 3.3

I got confused when I heard people said paypal rate is cheaper than CC rate, as i always thought it should be the other way round  hmm.gif

So i went to both paypal site and visa site to check:

Paypal:
1 MYR = 30.0539  JPY

Visa:
1 MYR = 31.926465 JPY

So, im right  smile.gif
Paypal is more expensive!

Yeap, the checkout final xchange rate there is even lower than 30.05, sometimes 28.
Paypal always expensive lor.

yes you can always cancel your pre order items with amiami even when the invoice is out. i once called them to cancel it and they said just reply the mail would be faster and save on international calls. i replied the mail and they replied on same day.

""..Order cancellation is not accepted in principle at our store, however.
While we can cancel your order this time, we would ask that you try to keep cancellations to a minimum in the future..."

but really did not notice last time , i cancel because once the invoice came in , only then i realised it was for damaged box C,item B.

Just ignore and dont pay when u get the invoice.
They already said cancellation is not possible at the FAQ, but nothing say about not fulfilling it.
