Paying for a marketplace order in euros or pounds

Sellers list their packages in US dollars. You can pay in US dollars, euros or pounds sterling — choose the currency in the site header before you add a package to your basket.

What you see before you buy

Each package on a listing shows its US dollar price and, beside it, what it costs in euros and pounds at today's exchange rate. That figure is an exact conversion, not a rounded marketing price.

The rate is locked in your basket

When the package goes into your basket we convert its US dollar price once, at our current exchange rate, and lock that rate on the basket line. The basket shows the amount you will pay and, under it, the listed US dollar price it came from ("≈ $120.00 listed price").

• The locked rate holds for 24 hours. A basket left longer is re-priced at the rate of the day,

and you see the new amount before you pay.

• If the seller changes the package's price, the basket shows the new price, converted again.

Tax and your invoice

VAT is worked out on the euro or pound amount you pay, and your invoice is issued in that currency. Nothing is converted after tax.

Refunds

A refund returns exactly what you paid, in the currency you paid it in — never a US dollar figure converted back. Marketplace refunds are made as account credit (see "How escrow protects a purchase").

Other currencies

If you read prices in any other currency, the basket is charged in US dollars and shows the US dollar amount you will pay.
