About a month ago, PayPal started trading in Pounds Sterling, Euros, Yen and Candian Dollars in addition to US Dollars. Yesterday was the first time I had an opportunity to use the new currencies with PayPal when I bought a K135/2.5 from a seller in Spain. It was a super easy tranaction and I didn't have to worry about the conversion of US$$s to Euros.
I monitored the German ebay for awhile, but it is such a pain to have to deal with bank transfers and bank charges that it isn't worth the hassle. Anytime you find a bargain on German ebay, the bargain is gone by the time you pay all the charges. The same can be said for many other countries. Why does it have to be so difficult to buy in Europe? I do not have an interest in PayPal, but I sure will invest some money if given an opportunity. I even take credit card payments through PayPal for my photography and it really has helped my business. -- Ken Archer Canine Photography San Antonio, Texas "Business Is Going To The Dogs"
