CCP would you please explain to me as to why I am Being billed in Euro in the EvE-Store? I'm from Norway and we are not a member of the EU! somthing I happen to be very happy about for several reasons, most of them not being relevant to this discussion.
so CCP please answer me this:
-Why am I being forced to trade in this currency? -Are the people of Iceland being treated in the same manner? -What are your reason for doing this? -Last but not least are you planning on doing this to plex and gametime? If you are, I am telling you right now I will certainly cancel two of my three active accounts that I have been paying for on a month to month fee for 3 years.
also for those not getting this, I loose money trading in euros instead of dollars, but since we are not a EU country I see no reason why I should not be able to choose what currency I want to trade in!
I do not know if any other non EU country is forced in the same manner, if you are, feel free to post in this tread. |

I could help you pay your sub from the American continent if we reach an agreement that is beneficial to both of us, but I don-¦t know if CCP has any policy against it, thus I make it public for everyone to see Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

Are the charges on credit card in europe so high that it makes a difference? I buy stuff in USD all the time online while having only CAD accounts and I have yet to see any difference... |

My 300 year old Native American friend refuses to use the Eve store as well because they do not accept seashells and river polished rocks as payment. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

That's because the Canadian and American dollars on par. Have been for a while now actually... I'm not entirely clear on the point of this, but I do have a sudden urge to jump in a catalyst and blow up a miner. Twitter! - @AzamiNevinyrall I'm half expecting a ban for this post. |

If it was not the case, buying a plex in CAD would cost more or less depending on wich currency is higher. You pay the exact same value unless your bank is screwing you over with extra fees. If not, i'd be buying plex for 20 zimbabwe dollars... |

Is this even a problem?
Do you have huge bank fees on paying for things in different currencies or something?
Might be time to try a different bank if you are. |

one dollar costs about 6.5 norwegian kroner one euro costs about 8.5 norwegian kroner
thats about 20-25% difference in price for me, so basically its just that I wanna buy in the currency that is lowest compared to my currency.
also thank you america for dumping the value of your dollar, 10 years ago 1$ cost 9.5 NOK also I hope your currency takes yet another dive so I can buy cheap **** from the internettz \o/ |

One euro is 7.5 NOK at DNB. And really, a month is what, 15 euro? That a Big Mac menu. The difference in price wont get you a coffee at a 7-11. |

Grow the **** up.
I'm Norwegian living in Japan, and I can't even register my adress/country to order the thing. Likely I'll be relegated to asking my parents to pay the import tax and forward the stuff to where I live.
Currency stuff is trivial in comparison. Nyan |

been a while since i checked, your right, but the dollar is down to 5.8 so yeah its only like 23% atm, so yeah on a monthly sub, i save only 4.4$ or 3.4 euro then multiply by 3 accounts and you have about 13$ or 10 euro a month saved, tats 156$ or 120 euros each year, yeah I care about that, I dont like throwing money out the window. also the collectors edition pack I was considering when I noticed the problem (that didnt really exist) I save 43$/33eur
so your point was again? |

I just pay for everything in US dollars and it works out perfectly. Maybe move to America or better yet, since this is clearly a big problem for you, move to a country where the currency is ridiculously depressed in order to bypass this egregious trouncing on your internet shopping rights. |

Our dollar is depressed however it is the strongest world currency. 66% of the worldGÇÖs central bank foreign currency reserves are in US dollars. |

In its current form, the Euro is dead anyways. Greece killed it.

Does the price not differ when purchased in different currencies thus making it equal regardless of what you purchase it with?
E.g. 10 GBP with UK selected, 12 Euros with EU selected.
So it doesn't matter that you purchase it in a different currency because you are being charged the same amount regardless, based upon whatever source of currency trade values CCP's system takes it from.
Or am I being stupid? |

only if you ignore a significant part of history, and cherry pick from the rest. but the Euro was effectively killed by Brussels. and if there is such a thing as a European government in a few years, im sure they'll have come up with a few more scapegoats by then too. But there won't be so its a moot point. |
