Paypal/Canada problems?

So, I noticed this when I went to pay my Canadian paw-maker that paypal has recently made it a real pain to pay foreign currencies. I had to eventually draw it out of my account and have it sent to paypal rather then the usual way and I see that's also an issue for Canadian players selling wyrms.

Where as if you use paypal credit most of the time like me, then you run into the issue of not being able to do the above mentioned way. I'm not really sure what to do about this other then see if someone has the funds in their bank gets it transferred then sends it for me and then I send them the same amount so they lost nothing?

-sending invoices do not help; they wont go through

To my knowledge, whenever you receive an invoice, you are given the option of paying with paypal or with a credit card. I did this only a few weeks ago when there were paypal issues with an invoice I was paying for something unrelated to Wyrms.

You should check with your paypal set up on what the default funding source is. I'm not sure I quite follow what the problem is here, to be honest. I usually pay from paypal with my bank as the funding source, which draws from my bank into paypal to pay.

Correct, but paypal credit isn't an option; it's only not an option for foreign buying (besides wish). It would work for buying from people in the usa.

it wont send through the bank either as i couldnt do it that way either when i was trying to send it.
