Currencies payments.

Accepting Payments 

You choose which currencies to accept and how you would like to accept them. When a buyer 

sends a payment in a currency you hold, the funds will automatically appear in your account in 

the balance of the given currency. When a buyer sends a payment in a currency you do not 

hold, you will be asked to Accept or Deny the payment:

Accept the payment and open a new currency balance.

Accept the payment and convert it to your primary currency.
