Paypal USD to CAD dollar conversion rate

Here is an example of what it cost us to ship a 8oz parcel to the USA using CanadaPost shipping module in Paypal.

Conversion From: $12.26 USD
Conversion To: $11.95 CAD

Exchange Rate: 1 U.S. Dollar = 0.975488 Canadian Dollars

Used to be the other way around - this way sucks!

Another dollar or so is lost and in the hands of PP.

Yeah, as convenient as that sounded, when I crunched the #'s I found I could save a lot more negotiating a contract with Canada Post and keeping it all in the same currency. I do the exchage from PayPAl US funds between my TD US and CAD accounts at a preferred rate and save again. Plus as an added bonus I earn airmiles on $1000-2000 a month extra by charging it to my Amex!

PayPal/Canada Post need to try and work up a slightly more attractive deal there that's for sure!
