Payment module based on currency that is selected

**Hello - I am trying to do the following:

I have 5 currencies.
The default is £
When customers use £ they will use my payment gateway mod (protx direct).

When customers use any other currency they will use the paypal mod.

Is this possible?
**
I know how to do this based on zones (i.e. countries) - But then this would mess things up in terms of someone may choose US dollar but have a UK address (which happens) - then they will end up been charged the £ amount without knowing it!

The reason for this mess is Alliance & Leicster sold me a merchant account where I can only use £. The first thing I said on the phone when applying was do you accept multiple currencies? - yes we do! Turned out only on face to face transactions.

So I am now looking for a new merchant account after aquiring it only 2 days ago!!!

Re: Payment module based on currency that is selected

Before you go and get another merchant/gateway...

You might be interested in PayPal 2.0 as you already have paypal now...

It is reported to be $20.00 per month (if you are UK based I do not know if this applies to you) and linked to Verisign.

There is a lengthy thread that began in August of this year and covers it fairly well here: PayPal 2.0
