Paypal sandbox acts weirdly:
I make payment of 700 RUB(Russian currency) to USD Seller account.
700 RUB in the real world is something around 10 USD, but when I make this payment in sandbox I got the conversion to 22.55 USD. I would understand difference +/-10%, but this is more than double the real price. Unfortunately I can't test such conversion on the real paypal accounts now, but paypal guy says that "the currency conversion you see in Sandbox accurately reflects our rates at that time." - https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Selling-on-your-website/Completely-inaccurate-currency-conversion/td-p/184328?profile.language=en-gb
So how is it possible and what is the problem? Did anyone have this issue?

There's an API you can use to get the real time conversion rate that PayPal uses https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/adaptive-payments/ConvertCurrency_API_Operation/
