We're sorry, but the currency for your current location does not match the currency we use for your store credit. Please contact Customer Care to convert your store credit to your local currency.
I've contacted customer support so I'll see how long it takes. It seems that is indeed possible to use this method, but it's extremely cumbersome. If only they had a method to just change the currency on the fly, or some way to convert prices to USD when doing Paypal transactions.

I guess in future I'll have to use my credit card instead of Paypal for purchases.
Thanks for the update. Good to know it works albeit with a hassle in case it is every necessary to use. But indeed, with such bad exchange rates it'd be better to use alternatives.
