    Angry Charged (more) in Dollars for my VIP Sub in the UK

    I re-subbed (from the UK) yesterday and it said £8.99 but then charged me in dollars, which worked out at £9.42. I appreciate that it's only 43p but it's the principle, please could I be refunded for the difference.

    Please could someone from SSG respond to this, I don't want to have to claim it back via Paypal but I will and I certainly won't be subbing again if it's going to happen every time

    as an englishman i have to say we pay extra for everything in my country, its just the way it is.
    but i got to say to pick a fight over 43p is a little odd.

    just saying.

    Like I said, it's the principle. It says the price is £8.99 then charges you more, it's not right

    To be honest, I'd settle for a small points code and an assurance that the issue is going to be fixed so it doesn't happen again, just something...

    To OP: This kind of things take about two weeks to get response through customer support (slow I know, but I have no other complaints about the service that was always helpful and friendly).
    Devs have nothing to do with money transfers.

    To others: In UK it is customary to have VAT included in the price.
    This 5% was most likely fee for currency change from £ to $, that should not have happened.

    TWO WEEKS?! Seriously?! That's nuts!

    It was nothing to do with VAT, I've been paying monthly for about a year now, I've never been charged anything but £8.99, in pounds. This was a bug with the process. I even tested it on my other account a few days later and paid £8.99, so whatever it was, it's either intermittent or it has since been fixed.

    No. Those only apply to US customers for this game.
