[QUOTE="stormcab, post: 512875, member: 6519"] Beautiful condition Canadian Madine to add to my Little Canada run. Popped up on Facebook about 3 months ago, but still hammered from a big Vectis purchase, and was off to America & Canada for holiday, so just saved it for later. I recently got some dollars in my Paypal account so asked if still available, it was. Agreed a price, and it was on it’s way. I now wish I’d got my arse in gear and bought it while I was in Canada. It would not only have saved on postage, but I got hit with a bloody £20 import charge. As I only dip in and out collecting nowadays, I forget about this sort of thing. The other annoying thing was that Paypal had taken the money from my bank account, not the dollars in my account, even though I’d made sure to select the dollars as my primary funding source. So I would have lost a little extra chunk converting from pounds to Canadian dollars. I sent emails to Paypal asking what happened, but the replies looked automated, so I’m going to call them. If they can’t refund me the small amount I’d lost in the conversion, I at least want to know for future purchases how to make sure a specific funding source is correctly selected. [/QUOTE]
