just want to ask regarding payment on ebay. will there be a difference assuming i pay usd1 via credit card or paypal? perhaps the exchange rate is higher on paypal than credit card?

*i just bought something usd 0.99 on ebay via paypal. i got charged rm4.55. the exchange rate this morning was about 4.45 this morning when i made the purchase.

Paypal currency exchange seems to normally higher than current ones.
Try this

May I know which bank card that you link to your paypal?
Do you get notified instantly for your purchase in RM?
For cimb mastercard that I'm using, it usually takes 2-3 days to appear in my cc transaction list.

same as you.  it doesn't show on the transaction, but it deducts from your credit limit in real time. so just did a simple math before and after.

the sms i got showed transaction in usd instead of rm like previously

Oh I see, I never bothered to check credit limit before this sweat.gif
Always wait for the total amount listed in the cc transaction

Do different banks have different exchange rates?
Bought something recently for 122.39 usd ~ rm540 (when 1usd = 4.40).
But the transaction is listed as Rm552, so there's another rm12 thrown in there

Anyone else still getting charged extra by paypal?
For example, I bought something from lazada for rm935 using lazada.
I checked the transaction from my credit card and it's rm942?
Yet, when I checked the transaction listed in the paypal list, it's still rm935

Hi guys, what are the recommended currency setup on paypal option?
I bought something for rm373 from ebay using paypal (with my visa linked) but after I checked my cimb account, it was actually rm400 credited
Any way I could know the exact amount that's credited instead of waiting for a few days till it shows up in my cc transaction?
