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.
The way I always justified the regional billing is if it costs $100 per week to live where I am, and $120 to live in another, salaries are higher elsewhere, cost of living higher elsewhere, then my site is higher as well.

That is fine, I just don't want the surfer to "EASILY" be advised of the conversion USD dollar amount. That's just ridiculous.

I do have it on one site, not the other. It is not as easy to just remove it because of a 3rd party processor involved as well.

Also, just a heads up. It is not that easy to remove it either, there is a bug in admin.
