I am from Ontario Canada .Is everything i buy from eBay always American money,even if it was shipped

[reallynicestamps]

Yes.

That's because while everyone in the world understands the American dollar, our friends to the south have a fantod when faced with anything else but.

And they are the buyers most sellers, Canadian, German, Chinese, Roumanian, Australian, whatever, deal with more than any other nation.

The USA is still the strongest economy in the world and the average American income is higher than anywhere else in the world.

If you are buying on eBaydotCA, you will see an approximation of your cost in loonies under the USD price.

The short answer is 'no'.

But you have to confirm you've logged into ebay.ca to find a greater number of Canadian sellers who list in Canadian dollars. Even Canadians who sell to fellow Canadians on ebay.ca are presented the option of listing in USD. (Paypal makes money on currency conversion.)

If you're logged into ebay.ca, the quick way of telling the item of interest in a search is listed in CAD is like:

C $49.58

If the item is initially listed in USD, it will look like:

c $28.31

Look for italics. The italics will tell you a currency conversion is taking place. 

But if you've logged into ebay.com, the listings will always be offered in USD.

If you wish to buy from a Canadian seller who lists in U.S. dollars just email them BEFORE bidding or buying and ask if you can pay in equivalent Cdn. Dollars. If they agree, then they can send you an invoice in Canadian dollars.
