ISA fees

jay0791

I was aware that your credit card charges a ISA fee to exchange currency (like that is hard to do electronically !!!)

however I just purchased a card from a fav seller and was charged 10.50 for a purchase via paypal.

That has never happened to me before on any canadian purchase.

Is this new to PP?

qustion #2 should sellers dissclose this in the item description or s/h section?

This has happened to me too. I don't normally buy from our neighbors up north
too often so I thought this was just the way it always was with the fee's.

Not sure if the sellers from Canada even know this occurs, so they would
never disclose it.

It's the first I have heard of it. I sell in US dollars so there should be no exchange fee.
I would ask the seller to send a bill in US dollars.

I just did some reading and this is a new fee started in April. It is .8% and was introduced by VISA.
I don't think the other credit card companies or PayPal are doing it yet.
