    This is a universal problem with all US-based payment providers. Because of the requirements to charge taxes in other countries, service operators that operate outside the US are required to charge the local taxes, and hence make horrible decision that you must have an address in the country of the currency you use.
    This makes zero sense and sounds like a bill of goods being sold to Square.

    For the record: I work in the regulatory compliance sector in my day job.
    If you want to charge local taxes, you accept the payment amount in the local currency first, apply the tax, then convert the total to figure out what to charge.
    If you want to charge taxes on the destination, you convert the payment using the spot exchange market first, apply the tax, convert back to find out how much of the local currency to charge.
    This is not rocket surgery, it's a basic script you can do in bash.

    If Amazon can allow me to change addresses with a simple web form and order from sellers in Xianjing, any processor should be able to.
