Ugghh, well this totally sucks! Gonna make it a lot harder to see if you're charged correctly & now will actually have to be sure the backup funding source is funded, since it will get used a lot more. I HATE this change. Also wondering if it means we'll still have to pay Ebay processing fees for Int'l txs? I assume that's a yes, though not sure what 3rd party fees would have applied, since this change is obviously for people on MP. IDK if everyone is on MP yet or not.
I got hit with a sneaky fee for foreign currency in December. Address was CA, so I had no idea it was an international tx, at all until I couldn't balance & it took quite a bit of effort to figure out someone had paid in a foregin currency. Here's the announcement:
eBay continues to enhance the selling experience, and we have important updates for the coming weeks.
Simplified fees
eBay has created a simpler and more modern billing process to pay your eBay fees and expenses. Beginning in late March, eBay will phase out the billing of selling fees and expenses via a monthly invoice. Instead, eBay will collect fees and other expenses, such as those resulting from refunds, claims or disputes directly from your earnings. If your earnings are not sufficient to cover these amounts, we will charge your payment method on file (debit or credit card, and/or linked bank account).
• Examples of eBay selling fees include but are not limited to: insertion fees, promoted listings, listing upgrades, and store subscription fees.
• You may find information on fees and expenses via the reports functionality in the Payments tab in Seller Hub.
• Depending on your monthly billing invoice date, you may continue to receive invoices for both March and April. You must still pay any outstanding amounts that are reflected on billing invoices that you receive during this time. Charges will not be duplicated.
Expanded support for international selling
• If you offer to ship internationally, your listings may surface in buyer searches on supported international eBay sites. You may also limit the countries you ship to by selecting specific regions in your listing settings.
• You may create listings on select eBay sites outside of the United States, such as the United Kingdom (www.ebay.co.uk), Germany (www.ebay.de), and Canada (www.ebay.ca). Your earnings for these sales will be disbursed to you in US dollars. We will continue to expand international selling to more countries in the coming months.

A note on eBay listing policies
When eBay manages your payments, your listings are automatically updated to reflect all the ways buyers can pay. Please refrain from specifying preferred payment methods in your listings. For more information, see our listing policies.
