I purchased a digital pattern from a Australian seller and I’m in the USA, aren’t I supposed to pay the amount of conversion to US dollars and NOT AUD ?

If the price is in AUD, you will be converting from USD to AUD at checkout. If paying with card, click “View Currency Conversion Options” at checkout and select AUD. Your card will do the conversion with their exchange rate. If you pay in USD, PayPal will convert with their exchange rate.
If price is in USD, you pay in USD as usual without currency conversion.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
