Hi!
I have heard this a couple of times, but I have ordered online through
credit card and the amount charged to it is at the current exchange
rate. Anybody have a different experience? I know they may list high
conversion rates but when they charge they do so in pounds and you
credit card extracts it at the going rate.
I have ordered once to forge world and once to GWUK, both fairly large
orders. One was around 81 pounds charged at around 116 US, one around
100 pounds charged around 142 US. That is true to the current rate of
exchange of 1 pound sterling to 1.40 US dollars.
