"We're sorry, the seller doesn't accept payments in your currency. Please return to the seller's website and choose another way to pay."

I've been following the rate of exchange for a month checking the price for an expensive item now I'm seeing this message for the first time.

I find being in the UK and changing AliExpress to USD and then checking out on PayPal on expensive items at times the price is lower than on AliExpress.

This is an old method I've used for years on expensive items, sometimes it's cheaper to stick to GBP but others cheaper to change to USD.

Seems that's now dead in the water.
