this is serious  >:(

for no reasons, it allows to pay only with use of its currency conversion.
otherwise, it shows the following error: "You cannot use this credit card for this transaction. Please use another funding source."

i've contacted the support, hope to get that sorted out soon before i'll get updaid item strike due to this.

:help:

has anybody else noticed something fishy in paypal's behaviour lately?

Isn't that to do with your bank?  I used the alternate conversion recently totally fine.

nope, i guess. my card and the invoice are in the same currency. it's native way for avoiding redundant loss of money due to currency conversion.

on the previous week it worked without any flaws.

not sure if it really helped or just totally unrelated. but after i've added one another CC to paypal account, i was able to complete the payment.

thanks for the hint. :coin:

i have no idea if this option is officially available in my country. anyway, it sounds like somebody should pay the fee for bank money transfer. i'm not in that favour. :-[
