ugh.

price after exchange rate conversion: $30.02

paypal balance: $30.

amount of time to wait to transfer the extra few cents: 8-10 days.

hopefully, the exchange rate will modify slightly in my favour before then.

actually, it already has.

a live rate says it should be $29.17.

and, you know, they advertise being up to date. bullshit. well, unless there's a hidden service fee.

i'm going to put it through and see what happens...

yeah, the rate they're using is just flat out wrong. 0.874590. but it hasn't gone that low in years. it's been down a little over the last month, but never below 0.89.

the rate hasn't been that low since summer, 2009.

some up to date exchange rate...

ok, there's a hidden fee, at 2.5%. adding 0.025 gets the current rate.

that two cents is still an incredible annoyance. hopefully, they just put it through. if not, it's not particularly unlikely that the rate will go up over .9 in the next day or two...

it was even over .9 this afternoon. low close.

lol...

it doesn't matter, because it's an e-check anyways, meaning i actually just wasted a week. ugh again.

<----- clearly using paypal for the first time. well, with a bank account anyways.

now my bank account is basically frozen for a week as i wait for the $30.02 to come out through e-check and the $30 to go back into the bank account from the paypal account, as i only had $45 in there. it should wash itself out, but i don't want to go under $31 as the e-check will probably clear before the transfer back in does.

*shrug*. i've got enough to eat for a few days.
