*EDITED BECAUSE OF POUND SIGN*

In America its one USD for one gold, where as in britain, it's one GBP for 1 gold. But because of exchange rates, 1 GBP is equal to about $1.68, meaning we're paying about 68% extra! I Don't think thats fair.

    No clue.

    I do know, however, that non-USA residents have to pay a sales tax. Whereas we yanks don't have too. o.o

    Don't use the pound symbol, it cuts off the rest of your post.

    Did you try to type the pound symbol? The forum has a problem with that character and cuts off everything after it for some reason.

    That's odd. And yeah that is kind of a rip off. You can always exchange your money into $ then buy zen with other methods can't you? (Paypal? Idk, not an expect in charging zen)

    Use the exchange rates to calculate an even price that is the same for all countries, would make a wider variety of people want to use the feature.

    Exchange rates are counted

    I'd pay like 30~32 pounds for $50 of zhen, nothing wrong with that

    All payment options on our charge page will convert your local currency into USD or Euros (depending on where you are located and what is shown on the charge page) automatically and will show you the price in your local currency before you commit to the purchase. If your ZEN purchase page shows USD, this means that your currency will be converted into USD first and then do the charge. Same thing for if Euros is the shown currency. As for any fees involved with currency exchange, you will need to research that beforehand to see if your bank or the payment solution you are using will charge you for that exchange. A good website to know what those rates will roughly be is linked for you below.

    http://www.xe.com/

    From there you can get a rough idea of how much in your local currency your purchase would be in either USD or Euros.

    As for changing what type of currency you are charged in, this unfortunately cannot be altered.

    Thats not true though. I just deposited 30 GBP onto my card, and just spent 30 DOLLARS on gold(I think), which is all well and good but I'm british, so i have no idea how that equates to GBP as all of the transactions were done in USD and displayed in USD on the page, which makes things complicated as I don't know how much this costed me in GBP.PayMo is currently the only way to buy gold in a way I can understand that shows the price in GBP, the rest are in USD
    Please add a paybycard option for GBP and other currencies!

    I would try asking in the bank to convert some of the money to dollars so you know exactly what you are paying.
