Payout Currency

[sin-n-dex]

If my available funds (on my currently not yet used ebay.ca account) is showing in C$, does that mean my payout is in Canadian dollars?

Just wanted to check I didn't need to open a US dollars account. When I set up for MP this morning it didn't ask me which currency so I wondered if that's something I'd chosen before.

I think I'm going to open a store there when I'm ready to start listing, that way I can put up my same banner that's on my US store (to brand it), etc. Trying to iron out the kinks before I start listing. I've decided it's OK if I don't sell for a few days because I'm on time away (and don't have any Canadian eBay listings up yet).

Yes, the .ca site only pays in Canadian dollars. If you have a Canadian address and are posting on .ca they wouldnt ask which currency as there is no choice.

Way back when I started selling here you could still get paid in US dollars but that was changed back about 10 years ago or so.

Canadian sellers can still recieve US Dollar Payouts, the choice has to be made at the time you register for Managed Payments and it cannmot be changed.

Of course it makes no sense to get USD payouts if you are listing on.ca

I wasn't given a choice, but the available funds are in C$, so I'm presuming they won't convert it into USD before depositing it?

I'm also presuming that I can't link up a C$ bank account if the payout is in USD?

Thank you recped! I'm going by memory and I thought they made me change to Canadian unless I listed on .com back in the day, but maybe I misunderstood the change (or they changed it again after). There have been so many changes I do tend to lose track, especially if they don't affect me directly.

You certainly would know better than me with more experience on both sites!
