naw, paypal does that for you automatically.

edit: as in you will be charged by paypal only. paypal withdraws it as an AUD amount and the rest is up to them.

That's what I thought happens, but I still have these fees for paying a merchant overseas...

Quick paypal question: If I make a paypal payment in another currency, do I get charged an international transaction fee by my bank as well? I've never noticed it before, but suddenly I have these huge INTL Transaction Fees - so I get stiffed on the paypal currency conversion, then have to pay a bank fee on top. What's the deal?

i've noticed this recently too. paypal is linked to my ANZ visa debit card and recently i sent some money as japanese yen - wasn't charged anything. then i sent money that needed to be converted to english pounds and i was charged by ANZ. i have no idea what's up, i've always had to pay a paypal fee (i think everyone does) but i've never been charged by my bank before.

I think if you're paying by CC you will incur a currency conversion charge but if you choose to pay directly from your bank account then the fee is already included in the total amount to be sent.

man i am hipsters

jeans and vans when i ride

[dzerzhinsky]

don't wear APCs when you ride... sandpaper-like effect

[Jem777]

i'm tempted to forgo the gear when i go for my license next year, cause i want a vespa and riding full gear on a vespa just makes me seem like a dweeb. not sure whether i'll regret that decision when i finally fall though.

yo du's, dunno if anyone is interested but i bought these about a week ago in a EU 42 and they are too narrow for me. will best fit a US 9-9.5. retail $150, will let them go for $80ppd (without box). i just want to sell so i can buy in the next size up. 9.5 condition.

yo conq, details on your rings!

[conqueror]

my avatar? that's my hand (top) and my friends (bottom). we are both edge and he had both for years, i asked him for one jokingly about a year ago and i when i stayed at his place in melbourne in july he gave it to me. i think he originally bought them in london. i wear it on my pinky and its a bit too small. on my other hand (not sure if you were talking about my fb pic) i wear this one i bought from some random harajuku joint. sorta looks like a diplomats/neo-nazi logo, i get questions about it pretty often. was massive when i bought it, i've had it resized twice now and it's still too big on my finger.

side note - never, ever take your rings to breville's to be resized. ever.

Speaking of Country Road, they have some pretty rad back-zip boots going on sale very soon for those of use who can't afford to drape our feet in Augusta

ANZ or CBA travel cards

- around $15 to start, first currency conversion occurs no charge; after that 1% of transfer charged (1.1% for ANZ).

- Free to use at POS and online, $2.5 or around to withdraw overseas.

- Take a few cents off the official exchange rates

- CBA can apply online through netbank, ANZ through branch

- Both reload through BPay

- My CBA card came 4-5 days after order and you get two cards which you activate with separate pins.

Travelex Cash Passport

- Similar to above, seemed like a little better XR but more difficult to get it seems

If going for cash, pre-order through Travelex.

In the end the difference in cost will be negligible (I spent more time trying to work out opportunity cost than it was worth) so go for most convenient: CBA Travel Card
