*that* is why regional billing prices seem higher, because of the included VAT.
So thats why everything costs 30-40% more in Europe compared to the US? Because of the VAT? Thats why a BMW costs $30k in the US and 30k euro in Europe? Because of VAT? Get your head out of your ass! Mainstream companies are ripping customers off just as adult companies, not only they charge different prices within different countries, they even charge different prices to different people. Its called demand-supply or economics, if you wish. The sooner you understand it, the sooner you can start making money, too. Just like all the others who make money instead of nonstop whining.


btw rowan, it looks fine to me. I can change currencies and see different prices for each. Weird.
