Exchange rates in sandbox are (very) wrong

Hi,

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kPKIEtmGnpI/Uw3RLUCizwI/AAAAAAAAAAo/TNVl91cyxiI/s1600/2014-02-25_23-00-49.png

When using the API or via direct creation in the sandbox website, the
exchange rates back to the native gross value are showing incorrectly (my
tests are using a native currency of GBP).

eg $100 USD is converted to £10.02 instead of £60.00 based on 25/01/2014
exchange rate.

The attached image shows the automatic currency conversion to verify the
above.

This is obviously a concern when we’re about to deploy this live in our new
integration to the V2 API.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or have I missed something completely?

Hi David,

It’s possible that the exchange rates aren’t updating on the sandbox: I’ll
look into this and get back to you. Rest assured that this will not affect
the functionality in production.
