I always pay with the PayPal. I do not have saved credit card info in my profile.

My credit card charges a foreign currency conversion fee of about 1%.

My Amazon Visa most certainly does have a fee for foreign transactions; I've been hit with it on Kickstarter when backing UK-based projects from the US. Whether it's a fee for converting currency (as I believe it is) or simply a fee for using the card outside my home country, it's still an extra charge.

Paypal collects its fees by padding the exchange rate. My bank credit card charges 1.5% for foreign currency transactions, but its exchange rate is so much better that it works out cheaper to pay the credit card fees than to use PayPal.

Yes, that's the Canadian Amazon credit card. The card is actually issued by Chase, an American bank.

No Foreign Currency Transaction Fees: Use your card when shopping outside of Canada and pay no foreign conversion fees.

So is the US version. I'm just saying, don't assume that "Amazon card" equals "no foreign fees" on a global basis simply because it happens to be true in your country.

Yep, same with my Aus credit card, much cheaper to use that than Paypal for foreign transactions.

Some credit cards, for example, the Amazon credit card do not have foreign currency conversion fee, so it will be a great card to use for international purchases.
In Canada, if anyone is interested in avoiding foreign currency conversion fees, besides Amazon.ca credit card, the Sears Financial MasterCard also has no foreign currency conversion fees, which makes it ideal for international purchases as you don't get charged 2.5%. You can get more details from local Sears stores.

Unsure, if Sears USA has the same benefit for their Sears Financial MasterCard in USA.

@kosh I don't know what country you're in - try Mexico, Norfolk Island, Hong Kong etc until you find what you're looking for.

They are all old checkout, therefore no multi tabbing.
