But that's my point... CCBILL works in the exchange rate from the USD pricing *AND* works in their fee for doing the exchange and you don't see that. If you were to go to
http://www.xe.com and do a quick exchange from the USD baseline price, you'd see a difference between the converted amount on XE and the amount converted on the join form. That difference is what i'm referring to.
Now the ultimate question here is: Is it cheaper to charge the USD to your credit card and pay the exchange fee from your CC company/bank or charge the local currency to your credit card and let CCBILL take the fee?
Were talking dimes here on a $24.95 transaction but interesting discussion anyways.
