paypal currency conversion fee unexpected
The actual problem
Buyers or merchants eat FX conversion that was never modeled into margin or advertised price.
Do this
- Export 30 days of PayPal activity; isolate currency conversion fee rows.
- Decide: present prices in buyer currency vs absorb FX — pick one and price it.
- Update product pages and ads so the checkout total matches expectation.
- Publish a Netkiln page so partners see conversion drag next to card fees.
