Weird, never knew that. So when I use XE.com to check the exchange rate before I buy something, what judges that? I only ever use international currency if I'm buying something only etc.

when using XE thats the official exchange rate set by FX, but obviously everyone is out to make a cut so eg paypal will set it rate in their favour and then cash your money in and make something out of it.
And yes the situation is quite bad at the moment
