When regional billing first started I noticed no change in the number of sales (just more money), now I do. That could be a reason, not sure.
This is sort of my stance as well.

Euro customers know that when they buy US stuff that their money is worth more and they get a better deal.

Just like when US people go to Mexico to buy stuff or vacation cheaper. It's not really rocket science.

Furthermore, when my affiliates advertise my prices on their site, like ie: review sites, they often list the price point in the review and ratings. So if a Euro customer joins off that link they might get turned off after they hit my site if I had regional billing.

But in regards to your statement. If you have regional billing activated, and did not have the price listed on the tour. The only prices that they will see are the regional prices in US and Euro or whatever country. and they will all equal the same amount. The only way they would know any difference is if you had the reg US price advertised on your tour. or like on a review site etc, as i explained above.

It's a complicated subject to talk about and explain. There are a few long threads about it here that might help.
