Hi there,
since some months pling is giving me donations.
The first were in on euros, my currency, and all was fine.
But since 2 months they switched to US Dollars, and so paypal is taking fee commissions for currency conversion.
Since pling is from Europe, i wonder why it is using US Dollars.
Anyone?
Thanks.

It varies.
How is that relevant?

Hi kokoko3k,
the global currency pling uses is Dollar-based cents.
If in the past you received a payment in Euros, it was likely already calculated from $-\>€.
