Thank you for the link.
Well I'm confused as that information seems to be out of context and is not the way it works. If you are listing on .com and are a US seller and the buyer pays with the British pound,their money will be converted to US dollars and they will pay the currency conversion fees. They will see the exchange rate on their order details. The seller does not see any exchange rate or currency fee as they only see $US. Other than the international fee, they would be paid exactly what they had been paid if the buyer was in the US. If the buyer is refunded later on, the currency exchange rate that will be used is the one that was in effect the day that they paid. But again, that wouldn't affect you.
The link at the end of the second paragraph leads to a page explaining currency conversion fees IF the seller is listing in a currency that is not their payout currency. For example, my payout currency is $C so if I list on .com, the buyer pays in $US and it is converted to $C so that it can be put into my bank account. In that case ebay would charge me any currency conversion fees.
If I list on .ca and a US buyer makes a purchase, all I see is the amounts in $C and do not see any exchange rates, currency fees etc. I receive the same as what I would have if the buyer was Canadian. So the information in these paragraphs does not apply to a seller listing on their site, regardless of where the buyer is located. But it would apply to a seller listing on any other site than their home site.

If the buyer pays in a different currency, the payment will be converted to the currency of your payouts. As currency values can change, it’s important to note that the currency exchange rate will be captured at the time of sale and can be viewed in the order details. This exchange rate will apply in the event of a refund.
eBay's transaction fees will be deducted in the buyer’s payment currency, before being converted to your payout currency. If you receive a fee credit, it will be converted from your buyer’s payment currency to your payout currency. See our fees article for more information on the currency conversion charge.
