Any Ebay savvy folk help with currency question

[robmack]

Hi,

UPDATE: I found the exact same switch on AliExpress for cheaper and ordered it from that store. Still would be interested in an answer to my question though.

Hit a situation in Ebay that I haven't seen before. Need help.

I've signed into eBay.ca with my ID and put a motorcycle switch in the shopping cart. The seller is in China. The price on the switch is showing in Australian Dollars and not Canadian Dollars. When I go to checkout, Ebay's shopping cart shows me a total in Canadian dollars but when I go to pay it tries a currency conversion AUD to CAD in PayPal. I've gone through my Ebay account settings to see if there is a currency preference but no option like that exists. Is this a limitation based on the seller only accepting AUD even though they are in China and will have to convert in PayPal?

I think I came across something similar before and skipped the purchase because there was a PayPal currency conversion rate that was atrocious.
