I made a purchase on my XXXX credit card of {$2700.00} XXXX dollars. At the time this would exchange at {$2000.00}. Going through PayPal I was charged 2-1/2 percent ( {$53.00} ) -- - {$2100.00} -- -which is almost XXXX times the bank card rate.When I complained to PayPal they said that I had agreed to this in some general consumer contract and that I could not choose to have the XXXX dollars be charged directly to my card. There was no mention of this excessive charge in the Pay Pal transaction. The Information is well-buried in the consumer agreement so I could not avoid the charge. I feel that this is an abusive and deceptive practice
