Why is your US/Canadian dollar currency conversion NOT the same as PayPal?

When looking at the cost of an item in eBay which is listed in US dollars it shows me the equivalent value in Canadian dollars.  When I pay for it in PayPal it is different again. It appears that EBay uses a different rate of exchange than PayPal. Can you not show the same currency conversion rate that PayPal uses to give buyers and sellers a truer expectancy of the item costs?

Not sure why but when eBay shows the exchange rate between Canadian and US dollars, something seems amiss. Example: right now our Canadaina dollar is worth more that the US dollar yet an item that costs US$9.99 shows CAN$10.37.
