Advice: Client Asking Me To Change Currency To His Country's

[crocdragon89.livejournal.com]

So, I recently had a client asking me to send a money request in his currency, I think so he wouldn't get charged the fees? Is this proper? Or is it more proper for me to accept his request and do it? I only accept USD, and that is in my TOS. Technically, I would still be getting payment in my currency, but only AFTER I change it back to USD, which would in turn take out a chunk of what the client paid me. So am I in the wrong for not wanting to convert the money to his country's? I'm not certain, and that's why I would like some advice on what I should do.

EDIT 4/9/14: I want to clarify that yes, all of my transactions are done through Paypal. And thank you all very much for the advice! This has helped me out a ton, and I will let the client know that from now on when he goes to commission me, if he does, the currency must be USD only!

Agreeing with a few others here in saying they may be trying to pull a fast one to skimp on exchange rates. PayPal doesn't charge a conversion fee insofar as I've personally noticed - I take payments in USD but all funds are eventually transferred to a Canadian bank.

You're not in the wrong for not wanting to convert your rates; your TOS states USD, and that is what the customer should be ready to pay in.
