So if you're going to pay via Paypal have the funding source as your actual bank account instead or you'll still pay fees
I've found that on my Commbank AMEX Paypal will charge from overseas, but on my Commbank MC they charge locally.

Anyway I called the bank to get clarification on how the international transaction fees work. Turns out on AMEX they are getting rid of the international transaction fees and I won't get them anymore after my new billing cycle starts, but MC still will have fees.
