Sending USD from Canada?

Greetings!

I am located in Canada and have USD and a bit of CAD money in my PayPal account.

 

I wish to send USD to someone. YET when I follow the process to send money, the system wants to 'convert' CAD to USD to make the payment - BUT I do not want to pay in CAD, NOR convert any CAD. I want PayPal to use the USD in my USD account! Otherwise, I would have to convert the USD-> CAD, then Convert the CAD back again to USD to make the payment! Doesn't make any sense as I would have to pay TWICE the exchange rates...

 

HOW can I tell PayPal to use the USD in my account to make a payment to someone in the US?!

Thanks for your help!

Have you marked USD as your primary currency for that transaction?

Go to your paypal balance and click on it OR the 3 dots next to it > manage currencies.
