That is not quite right. Android Market shows approximate price in buyer's currency. I agree the best experience would have been if the developers could list item in Buyer's currency so that the buyer sees a familiar price tag (9.99 instead of 9.26) and wouldn't have to pay forex conversion charges. > - Problems with using the most popular UK debit card for the purchase of US > apps. As has been covered in other threads, this card is a domestic card meant to be used only for domestic GBP transactions and is specifically disallowed for online purchases in foreign currencies. This is not a issue where Google arbitrarily limited this capability. > - $3 fine on chargebacks even if the developer wasn't asked to refund the > cost. That too has been covered by other threads and it seemed to me that the conclusion was that $3 was actually a fairly small amount compared to other systems.
