paypal currency conversion fee unexpected
PayPal FX surprises show up as ‘fees too high.’ Flag conversion rows in the activity CSV before you change pricing.
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.
