Using Paypal to pay for membership, help pl0z

[heart_o_gold]

So anyway.

 

 

 

I registered my bank details with Paypal and have everything set up..

 

 

 

I can add AUS dollars to my paypal account, but when i go to the upgrade to members link and fill in the details the "pay by cash" site knows i am australian but the order form cost is in American dollars...

 

 

 

Is this right>?

 

 

 

Also, i heard paypal rip you off with the exchange rates, is this true?

i believe paypal does the rate conversion, not the JaGex pay by cash. I do not know much about the rate conversions, but the following give you a idea

 

 

 

 

* If your transaction involves a currency conversion, it will be completed at a retail foreign exchange rate determined by PayPal, which is adjusted regularly, based on market conditions. This exchange rate includes a 2.5% spread above the wholesale exchange rate at which PayPal obtains foreign currency, and the spread is retained by PayPal. The specific exchange rate that applies to your multiple currency transaction will be displayed at the time of the transaction.

I'll suggest pay on multi-month bases to save yourself some money. They charge an adminstrative fee for each transaction.

KK, i was going to get half a years worth anyway..

 

 

 

So how do i get paypal to convert my money into american, or do they do that automatically when you send cash does it convert it automatically?

Ok, so i went through the steps on the paybycash website, and it turns out something like this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does this mean;

 

 

 

1. That They are currently taking $47.58 AUD out of my bank account, then transfering $34.95 USD to Jagex Ltd.

 

 

 

2. Something else that is completely different
