Now i charge my card in $CDN, CCBILL does the exchange and makes the exchange rate plus membership, and my credit card doesn't make anything on the transaction, because it's in my own currency.

See, everyone gets sold on how it's making everyone more money.... but to be honest...the only one it's making money for.... is CCBILL.
And don't forget that the credit card exchange rates are more realistic then the payment processor ones! Paypal also has a hand of it, their rates always are worse for the customer then the actual one.
