It did when I checked on my cell phone earlier. So if I advertise 29.95 on my site and a Canadian or European check out the form a bit they will realize that they are actually getting charged a higher USD amount then advertised. Right?
Was the way currency displays in this fashion a recent change?

If you have regional billing activated on a $29.95 USD price point a Canadian will see $34.32 CAD (if you are using CCBill's default recommended ratio)
If he clicks on the US currency he will see $31.77 USD
IF you don't have regional billing activated on a $29.95 USD price point the Canadian should first see $32.36 CAD and if he clicks the US currency should see $29.95 USD
If you do choose to activate regional billing I would not advertise your price anywhere on the tour. That way they will not figure out that you are charging more for non US based customers.
Personally I do not use regional billing. I don't think it is a good idea.
Also, remember that the use of "Global Forms" (the diff flags) is not using regional billing. Global Forms just displays the currency depending upon where the user is from.
