| You can pay in US$ or in your native currency. Here are some points to consider: - Credit Card and Google Checkout payments can be processed in US$ only. When using these payment options it would be better for you to select the US$ cart button.
- PayPal allows multi currency payments but the cost is prohibitive, between 6.5 and 7.5% when paying in non US currency. Consequently PayPal is configured to not accept payments from outside the US.
- Moneybookers has a low fixed conversion rate of 0.95% currently. Additionally it is very attractive for countries like Australia or Switzerland where verification of the card billing address is not possible. For this payment there is a 2% discount available.
- The exchange rate applied is static - it.doesn’t change dynamically - and was updated on posting date, see upper righthand corner on most pages. We reserve the right to adjust pricing to the rate at order time on orders not in US$.
- Actual price calculation in non US currency contains an adjustment for currency conversion on our end. Depending on payment method we get charged various rates. Converting to US$ on your end and selecting the US cart will be in some cases lower cost.
In spite of these caveats displaying prices in your currency makes it easy for you to compare to local merchants. The upfront calculation of shipping cost helps transparency, too. Also, you will need to consider VAT and customs processing fees on your order. |
