Conversion rate of USD to AUD

[TempestKittie 0]

Just wondering why recently the conversion rate is $10 higher than the actual rate. I just paid $40 USD for 10500L. With the current conversion rate 40 USD = 60 AUD. Yet I'm being charged $70 AUD. Can someone explain where the extra $10 is coming from????

Any currency conversion is done outside of SL, usually in PalPal.  Linden Lab doesn't have any currency conversion facility itself.  I suspect that the difference between what you expected and what you got was simply a matter of LindeX fees >>> https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/describe-transaction-fees.php

And PayPal may charge a conversion fee also.

What does your LindeX Purchase History show for the GROSS US$ and NET US $:

 

The difference between those two is the LL fee.  The difference between the NET US$ and whatever you truly paid would be on the PayPal side.
