Hi. I'm looking to buy some items from Canada to New Zealand, and when inputting my credit card it has eBay's exchange rate of $1 NZD to $0.81002 CAD. If I go to xe.com their rate is $0.846790 CAD. I can't see any other options to do things externally or use my credit card's exchange rate to get a better price, I'm just checking to see if I'm missing something?Alternatively I have Wise set up and I was thinking of using my credit card to top up wise the CAD amount and then paying from my Wise card on eBay. When I input the Wise card though it is still telling me the NZD exchange rated amount on the checkout page. If I have the money in CAD in my Wise account would it just charge me in CAD or would it do a double exchange rate: CAD>NZD on eBay and then pulls NZD from my CAD account?
