Then, in each currency, you can set a fee to account for the difference between PayPal rates and the ECB rates.

This rate varies alot (not sure how often it change), its hard to keep track and might end-up under or overpayment while thinking I have setup the right fee for the differences. Is there an option probably in the paypal plugin to use they paypalx service? In order to use their api, I have to supply api username and password which they can only give to a user with business type account. Maybe you can have this feature included? I might be able to extract the converted currency value based on that api but I am still thinking what to do in order to reflect the new price for all product displayed.

The paypal plugin is a payment plugin, no a currency rates update plugin. We could indeed include it in the feature, but looking briefly at the documentation, it's not something we can add with few lines of code and it will require a few days of work.

Update automatically in the same way as you did if from ECB. Well this is not a mandatory for me at the moment, its only good for customer to estimate what price in their currency that they are going to pay, so customers dont have to check-out first to paypal in order to find out.
