  I asked in GC how I could determine the exchange rates for US dollars to GB lbs and was told by GM Rikko that the DOLLAR amount for the purchase would be shown before the transaction completed. This was NOT the case...  not a particular problem for me... but your GM's need to be better informed, OR you need to upgrade your prestige purchase system so US players know what they are buying. In fact, this might benefit you as well, since Id bet some people who MIGHT buy, DONT, because they are unsure of the amount they are actually spending!

mmh! I guess actual exchange rate $/€/£ depends a lot on everyone's banking account… Paypal (which I use) isn't very clear about when the actual transaction will be solved…

Strange, I see the dollar amount before purchase, always have. This is even signed in with guest mode:



If you are not seeing this, let me know what you are seeing. 

I am in the US.

Did you actually get to this window or not?

Thanks.

GM Rikoo

EDIT: This window with this information pops up before you actually purchase.

The company I work for uses PayPal heavily to pay freelancers who get paid in euros. It's worth noting that PayPal offers a very poor exchange rate on all currency exchanges -- and they are within their rights to do so. Their rates lag behind actual rates, sadly.

Here is a money converter. Toggle to switch from one currency to another. I believe it's updated daily.
