As a banker I get these comments all the time.
The exchange rate you see on the news is NEVER what you will pay when you
purchase something online.
Companies will always knock a little off the market rate as their cut. It's
how they make their money.
And yes I agree. When the purchaser is charged a fee or lesser exchange rate
and the so is the merchant when he receives his funds, it IS double-dipping.
I don't like it either but it's the way of the world I'm afraid.
I'm just loving the fact that the AUD is at parity with the US at the
moment. About 5 years ago $1AUD = $0.45. Now THAT hurt when buying overseas!
But it was fantastic if selling overseas.

Hey friends,
Regardless of how stronger the Canadian loonie is against the US greenback,
seems Paypal always functions in a state of denial. What are banks charging?
To the uninformed (like myself), it smells like double-dipping.
Wondering,
