I went mulit-currency with my store last week and I was getting a weird output in the cart:
Total in payment currency : 0
The total WAS being transferred to PAypal ok, but the display in the cart (for "total in payment currency" only)was always 0.
FYI I fixed this my changing 573 in default_pricelist.php from:
<td style="text-align:right;"><strong><?php echo $this->currencyDisplay->createPriceDiv('totalInPaymentCurrency','', $this->totalInPaymentCurrency,false); ?></strong></td>
To
<td style="text-align:right;"><strong><?php echo $this->totalInPaymentCurrency; ?></strong></td>
