Default PAYPAL sound like a rip off

I recently bought some paint for my RB5 from the US from a company called Dr Colorchip.
The paint including shipping was around £50, which is expensive, I know.

Anyway I paid via Paypal and on my credit card statement I was charged £144.43

I have coontacted the seller who states that he has only took what he should have about $104.

Looking at my Paypal account there is a charge of £44 for a currency conversion. wtf.

$104 + £44 doesn't add up to £144.43 ??

Exactly!

The paint inc delivery was around £50= $104 so where has the £94 gone to?

Holy moley, lucky the Dr Colorchip groupbuy paid the wedge to the groupbuy organiser. I hope you can get the surplus cash back

I would contact Paypal and query it. It might be a technical error.

I have bought stuff from Dr Colorchip in the US via Paypal and had no problems. The correct amount was taken from my account and I wasn't charged extra for currency conversion, nothing of that amount anyway.
