Done some digging. Seems PayPal charge a 2.5% fee for currency exchanges but they don't build this into their currency converter. Dumb or what?

So have you got enough now or do you still need some more?
I don't want you to end up out of pocket.

I read about them in an Australian Geographic.

Ern, I might just wait until you make the final calculation.

I have calculated my balance at the correct rate of 1.275 and have sent deposit funds to your account. at 0650
Cheers.

Thanks SteveW.

Cliff and Letzzgo, yeah, no rush. I expect the difference I posted will be it but will confirm next week.

I'm off to the High Plains today; back on Wed.

Use rsser at westnet dot com dot au for comms cos the PM box won't get emptied.

That would be right, the news this morning says the Aussie dollar went up over night.

I'll do some more chasing up when I get back but don't expect it to change the outcome.

PayPal's currency converter rate at time of transaction quoted 1:1.21 but they charged 1:1.275 or so on the debit. That's more than the 2.5% foreign exchange transaction fee.

TL...I've had a super flute for many years and it is a treat. If you can get that one on auction, do so...you wont regret it.

Anybody else want to borrow the 5/8" drill bit?

It is currently in Brissy, let me know.

**Rattrap** · 21st July 2009, 10:35 AM

I was so temped to get in on this buy but being so new to wood turning - just 3 weeks, i barely know which end to point at the wood much less the diff between a roughing gouge & a bowl gouge. lol
Good going for organizing this anyways guys, i'll keep my eyes open for the next time u do a bulk buy. Maybe by that time i'll have a better idea what i'm doing - or not.
