Anyone bought anything online using paypal in a foreign currency?

It's an ipad mini case from Japan. 5910 JPY which is £38.37 using an online convertor (incl postage).

It's something i've never done before. Should it convert straight from Yen to Pounds, is it as simple as that.

Yeah i have done it a few times mate and all worked fine

i bought stuff from USA in dollars, just converted it to £ when it took it, simples.

Thanks.
I guess the only danger is the reputation of the site. I can't imagine Paypal has the same level of insurance as a credit card.

DO NOT SEND PAYMENT FOR ITEM CLASSED AS A GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they send the item as a gift you have no cover or comeback

Okay, thanks.

I have bought in Dollars US and Euros. No problems.

Then there are import taxes.
