Xorus Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.09.22 22:36:00 - [32] Originally by: Myo Pi I have two accounts, both billed to the same address and credit card, and one is billed in dollars the other in euros. Neither has the option to use the other currency. Once converted into Great British Pounds by my CC company: $14.95 = 8.12 GBP Ç14.95 = 10.52 GBP Can I have both my accounts billed in dollars please? Out of interest whats the age difference between the 2 accounts and which was created first? Just wanna see if its a time thing, maybe they were billing in USD up to a point then they billed in Euro's or vice-versa --- Wanna Buy a Goat??- Tirg Member of the 'Kaemonn is My Hero' club Member of the "Immy's Bald Head Appreciation Society" Xorus is currenly off duty counting trees in Siberia. -Ivan K How much is that goaty in the window, baaa baaaa - Cortes (Secretary, Bald Head Appreciation Society)

Just wanna see if its a time thing, maybe they were billing in USD up to a point then they billed in Euro's or vice-versa The dollar account was first billed on 2005-11-10 and the euro account on 2005-10-17.

We'll only ever join the single currency when they rename the Euro, The pound, and rename the EU, as The British Empire. ------------------------------------- Xelios and his uber skillz
Janus Ovellian Minmatar Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.09.22 22:53:00 - [35] The very first two payments on my account were billed to the sum of 12.95 USD back in 09-2003 and 10-2003. Subsequent to that (and after a brief break from the game) all payments have been made in euros. Interesting times await...

Now that sounds like a plan, as for billing i have a 1yr old account and a 2yr old account, the older one used paypal until it broke so i was billed in USD iirc and the newer account was billed the same until it broke but now they bill me in USD if i want to pay using my debit card. --- Wanna Buy a Goat??- Tirg Member of the 'Kaemonn is My Hero' club Member of the "Immy's Bald Head Appreciation Society" Xorus is currenly off duty counting trees in Siberia. -Ivan K How much is that goaty in the window, baaa baaaa - Cortes (Secretary, Bald Head Appreciation Society)

Elgar Lightfoot	Posted - 2006.09.22 22:59:00 - [38] When I first joined they billed me in Euro (over a year ago). Since I resubbed (this week) they now bill me in dollars.
Ace Merrill	Posted - 2006.09.22 23:11:00 - [39] Players from EU states are billed differently, ie in Euros, in order to allow the collection of VAT (or sales taxes to some of you). Technically therefore, you don't get a choice - that's why there's a price difference, so that CCP can charge it ontop of their fee and not earn less from EU players than those from the rest of the world. (Conversely, we EU players pay more, but at least we can safely blame the tax man and not CCP.) If an EU citizen's account is being billed in dollars it sounds like an error, it may well be that either of two things is happening: a) VAT is not being collected correctly by CCP. b) CCP are losing money by not collecting VAT from you and paying it on your behalf anyway. In either case, CCP lose out. From the player's point of view, if you were to deliberately attempt to circumvent the need to pay in Euros and to pay the (lower, tax free) dollar price, you would technically be guilty of tax evasion.

Ysolde Xen Minmatar Liberal Trading Co Electus Matari	Posted - 2006.09.22 23:50:00 - [42] This account was started in 2004 and has always been active, and always paid in Euros My 2nd account, also started in 2004 but not active currently, was also always billed in Euros. I'll see what happens when I reacitvate it in a couple of month's time. I want to pay in $ ----- It's not a crap ship, you're just flying it all wrong.

Elgar Lightfoot	Posted - 2006.09.23 00:39:00 - [45] Edited by: Elgar Lightfoot on 23/09/2006 00:41:24 I just checked and I was wrong. I'm still billed in Euro. I'd much prefer to be billed in dollars as we don't use the Euro in the UK, and it also puts the game in the same price bracket as all other MMO's. The alternative is that I could transfer all my billing to my US friend and then reimburse him. I feel it's wrong that I should be paying more just because of where I live.
Redwolf Imperial Dreams Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.23 14:16:00 - [46] I was led to believe that if you're in the UK, then the cheapest way to pay for eve was to buy GTC with dollars via paypal. Even without the year long sub discount you would make a reasonable saving. I have no idea where you would stand in relation to excise and VAT evasion though Originally by: HippoKing Who cares if the game is coming up. Forums are back \o/
Johan VanDelft Gallente	Posted - 2006.09.23 16:27:00 - [47] Originally by: Grimpak lemme guess. you want the queen's face in every bill and coin, right? Some Brits don't seem to know that the Euro-coins have country-specific side. Dutch Euros have our Queen, Belgian Euros have their King and so on. For the bills however, suck on it :)
James Potkukelkka BGG Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.23 16:56:00 - [48] I have asked before, and you can't choose which currency you pay in, if you pay directly to CCP. I guess they have a randomizer code there or something. You can, however, choose the currency, if you buy your card from a timecode retailer. At the moment, game is much cheaper to pay with dollars than euros. (because 15Ç is more than 15$)

Even without the year long sub discount you would make a reasonable saving. I have no idea where you would stand in relation to excise and VAT evasion though Theoretically the goods would be stopped at entry to the country and both VAT AND import duty slapped on them - thus you'd pay more tax. I can't verify they do that to all parcels, as I have had some goods arrive with and without import taxes before when purchasing from overseas, but it is the theoretical answer - you'd pay even more. As for those wishing not to be paying more simnply for living in the EU, that's a matter to take up with your governments / local parliaments etc. VAT and other taxes are a fact of life within the EU, but it is only recently that they have taken to enforcing them on electronically provided services from outside the EU.
