I have been trying to figure out what I should set my primary currency at Paypal USD or CAD?

I Have a Business account & I am in Canada and Take payments in us funds on ebay

I have so much on my mind lately that I am brain dead & Can't figure out what is better for me.

1)I buy all my Postal labels at Paypal

2) I rarely transfer funds to my Bank a/c

3) I use My Paypal Debit MasterCard alot

So what primary currency should I have it set at Paypal or is there no difference?

I would think with the exchange rate that there must be

Any Help would be much appreciated for Brain dead me 🙂

Thanks

It doesn't really matter....as long as you have both currencies in your account the only difference is that whichever you choose as "primary" will be the default choice for things like the currency used to display your total balance or the default when you go to print your monthly reports.

If you get paid in a currency you have not set up, say a buyer send your Euro's instead of US/CA Dollars then that payment will be converted to your primary currency.

That would only happen if you actually bill in a currency you have not set up or if a buyer used "send money" and didn't pick either US or CA Dollars. (neither are likely to happen).
