normally, it always pre charge with global rate,
of coz 2 days later, final charge will be more than that , to bank or paypal, (i.e if 1USD = 3.295 = RM3.30 (current global rate, 2 days later, final payment thru will be RM 3.9 or more) <-- the extras to bank or paypal
just the last purchase i made on May 27, it charges with more 0.1 than global exchange rate, means after the final charge, even more and expensive
all the purchase I made before, pre charge surely follow the current global exchange rate, and 2 days later, final charge will be more expensive than the first charge,
just last friday I made a USD 7.5 purchase, global rate was 3.295 (should be RM24.71 , but my pre charge was RM 25.44, around 3.392 rate)
2 days later... it charges again even more expensive than 25.44
just wondering, why only the last payment pre charge higher than usual
I always follow the currency rate on xe.com for reference as first pre-charge, any other extras should be charged on final charge.
well, I didn't use my debit card to purchase online directly, just don't feel like to expose any of my info to the merchants, not because I don't trust them, just want to reduce the risk as much as possible, so go on paypal for paying a little bit extra on charges,
I've been using paypal for a year, only the last purchase charge is different
