Unable to change default currency to dollars | Buying

Forum threads instruct us to go to Customize and check "Convert Prices to U.S. Dollars" but the people giving this advice are clearly sitting in an office (or at home) in the U.S. giving boilerplate instructions that HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY. I'm in Mexico and what I see is "Convert Prices to MXN (Mexican pesos)" which of course I have unchecked. There *is* *no* "Convert Prices to U.S. Dollars" box. This should be configurable in the profile so that your preferences are honored everywhere on Ebay.com. You request English or dollars in one part of the site and even if it works in one little piece, you'll still see foreign language and foreign currency in other places. Trying to configure language & currency on Ebay.com is like playing Whack-a-Mole, except that at least in Whack-a-Mole, occasionally you win. U.S. expats trying to use Ebay.com ALWAYS LOSE this battle.
