Please help: PayPal doesn't accept payment denominated in USD

Please help. I receive this error message in PayPal website whenever I use PayPal Website Payment Standard.

 

This recipient does not accept payments denominated in USD. Please contact the seller and ask him to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency.

 

I don't know what's wrong since I already set my Payment Receiving Preferences (in my PayPal account) to accept other currencies and convert them to USD.

 

TIA.

I had the same problem. All I did was hack the paypal_standard.php under includes/modules/payments

 

on line 286 I changed the following

 

'currency_code' => $currency,

 

to

 

'currency_code' => 'GBP', //$currency,

 

Though the GBP is the code for Great British Pounds, yours may well be different.

I can't use this solution since my default currency is IDR (Indonesia Rupiah) & my PayPal account only accepts USD.

* If I change the 'currency code' to IDR, it still gives me the same error.

* If I change the 'currency code' to USD, it works but gives the wrong amount (it pass the amount as is and not converting it from IDR to USD).

 

Any idea how to fix it?
