How can I change payout currency from USD to CAD.

[arteis]

When that MP nightmare started, I was told that I had to wait a year before I can change my payout currency.

$1000 extra exchange fee paid later, 1 year has passed and now I want to change my payout currency from USD to CAD. Each week that this change haven't been made I loose $25 in extra exchange fee.

Reading on the community post it looks like I will not be able to change it FOREVER!

Can that be true, did I lost $1000 per year by clicking the wrong button? If so that is simply crazy! Only mariage should be consider a lifetime contract!

I have waited one year like Ebay forced me too now they better hold their end of the deal!

It is amazing that I am a Canadian living in Canada, selling on Ebay.ca but I cannot get paid in Canadian money!

What if someone living in US move to UK, they have to close their Ebay account?

It make no sense, how can this business continue running is beyond beliefs.

You're describing a somewhat different scenario here. It's very possible that an American moving to the UK would want to set up a UK bank account for Managed Payments.  If "the system" allows this sort of switch, there'd likely be a switch in payout currencies to go with the change in bank accounts.

As far as I know, eBay Canada is the only eBay site that gives sellers the choice of payout currency, but I could be wrong about that.
