Thank you, Cupid. That explanation was crystal clear. Now I get it! 3.5% is a tad high, I would say. I don't even get that on my best CD interest rates these days!
Thanks again.

I am saying that Gixen will only bid in the currency of the auction.
If the auction is listed as being in Canadian dollars then it is Canadian dollars you are bidding in.
This is the same as if you bid direct on Ebay.
You can only put numbers into Gixen, you can't specify what currency those numbers are in. So, for instance, entering 'C $5.00' is not valid, but '5.00' is OK.
If you enter 5, when adding a snipe to Gixen, and the auction is in USD you are bidding 5 USD, if you enter 5 and the auction is in Canadian dollars you are bidding 5 CAD.
If it confuses you as to how much that will actually cost you use a conversion site such as xe.com, but, as I said, make sure you take account of the fact that Paypal charges you 3.5% extra for the conversion.

Thank you for your reply, Cupid. But I am confused. Are you saying that Gixen only bids in USD? Or are you saying that if I put "C $5.00" in my gixen bid that gixen will bid in canadian dollars?
thanks for your help

As with Ebay you have to bid in the currency of the auction.
Gixen does not do any conversion of currencies.
If you win an auction in a different currency than your own, use Paypal to pay for it, but bear in mind when working out your bid that Paypal charge buyers 3.5% above base rate to perform the conversion for you.

Post subject: Question RE: bidding in a foreign currency
I am wondering how to place my bid on gixen if the auction asks for Canadian money. Do I just put a regular bid of $5.00 USD for example, if the auction is in "C" dollars (canadian dollars) and then just let ebay adjust it?
To simplify my question, How do I use gixen to bid in Canadian dollars?
Thanks in advance for any help.
