Summary

eBay listing prices come in the seller's currency. A UK buyer sees USD on every listing. Add a currency preference to Settings so prices display in the user's chosen currency.

Depends on

circuitforge-core#52 — shared currency preference field + formatting utility

Scope

Settings page: currency picker (dropdown, ISO 4217 codes — start with the common 8-10: USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, JPY, CHF, NZD)
Store selection via cf-core preferences
Apply format_currency() everywhere a price is displayed: listing cards, listing detail page, trust score breakdown, seller history panel
eBay already returns prices in listing currency — display the formatted value in the user's preferred currency label. Full conversion (exchange rates) is a separate future feature; for now, show the original amount with the user's currency symbol as a display preference, and flag when listing currency differs from user preference.

UI

Settings > Display > Currency: [dropdown]

On listing cards where listing currency != user preference, show a small indicator (e.g. USD badge) so the user knows the price is not in their currency.

Out of scope

Live exchange rate conversion (separate BSL feature)
Per-listing currency override

Priority

Medium — came in as direct user feedback from r/selfhosted launch post.
