Because that is a shortfall of eBay checkout.

They will bill your card in a currency based on your billing address.

Work around:

Open a Paypal account & attach your card(s).

Then set your Paypal preferences to have the card billed in the currency of the sale, not your local currency.

Different countries have different Paypal capabilities.
I don't know if this will work for members from other countries, but this is how a US member would set their credit card to do the currency conversion:


* log in to your Paypal account
* click the little Gear (profile) icon
* Scroll down to: Preapproved payments ***
* Then locate & click the Set Available Funding Sources link located on the right hand side of the page.
* To the right of your cc info, click Conversion Options
* Then select:
( ) Bill me in the currency listed on the seller's invoice.
I will not know which foreign exchange rate has been applied to this transaction until I receive my card statement from my card issuer. I acknowledge that by choosing this option, my card issuer will determine the foreign exchange rate to apply to this transaction, and that I will not be informed of the foreign exchange rate or any additional foreign exchange fees applied until I am billed by my card issuer.
* Then [Submit].

*** With recent changes to Paypal, you may have to do the following to get to the pre-approved payments page:
After clicking on the gear (profile) icon, click on Payments, located in the dark blue banner.
The look in the upper left hand side for Manage Upcoming Payments.
Below this is the link for pre-approved payments.

US members:
Do not set your cc to do the currency conversion until you've compared their fees & conversion rates to those of Paypal.
Paypal's 2.5% fee is pretty good compared to many cc companies.
