I've heard that Capital One and at least one other CC company don't charge conversion fees (I know I've been hit with them when buying from AU or the EU, as I didn't have one of the magic cards). Paypal passed along the charge to the CC, which is where I was hit with the exchange fee. Don't know what they do if you have sufficient funds to cover a purchase (not that it helps with Amazon; unless you could use PP to buy Amazon gift cards and keep your account loaded that way).
