Techno_Funky Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I was trying to get the neowin subscription through Paypal. I select US dollars as the primary currency but after I land up on Paypals site it somehow turns the currency to Euros. USD will be cheaper to me then Euros so anybody knows if there is something wrong I am doing, I am new to paypal too but I did check in my account settings and it shows USD as my primary currency. Anybody any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted April 15, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2009 Should be an option to switch the currency when purchasing somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno_Funky Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I select USD's on Neowin but when it reaches the Paypal site somehow some magic turns it to Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted April 15, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 15, 2009 I believe the option on the neowin website is only to show the actual cost in Dollars. If you go through with the transaction, you'll still only be paying the equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 And 10 Euros is 13 Dollars, what's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted April 15, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 15, 2009 Neowin offers a base price compared to all currency. Else some will be paying almost $15 dollars (?10 UK) compared to $10 for US residents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno_Funky Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ok got it, no matter what the currency the base price stays same my bad, appologies but when I get into the screen that will finalise my payment in Paypal there is a diffrence of 30 rupees i.e basically according to the currency rates both USD and Euro the amount in Rupees should have been 650 rupees but in Paypal I end up with a bill of 680 rupees dont know why this diffrence.
