+Clipper. Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Think it worked out about £18 when I did it Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Depends on how you pay, Debit/Credit card, and the exchange rate, and the commission the card provider charges you. Usually it's around £18 to £20. Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The conversion is done by your credit card company, giving the rate of the day when payment is posted. If you Google "US Dollar + UK Pound Sterling Exchange Rate" you'll get a rough idea, or you can check the Bank of England Exchange Rate. Quote Link to comment
nrturneruk Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 If you pay using Paypal, usually they do the currency conversion for you, plus their exchange rate is generally good and they don't charge a conversion fee. My bank, for example, charges £1.50 for US dollar transactions. Quote Link to comment
+splashandfluke Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thank you everyone, just making sure as my friend bought DVD's from the USA and the tax and conversion charge was a shocker Quote Link to comment
