Online Shopping - Buying goods from the USA


Expert: Annette - 12/5/2008

Question
Hello Annette,my question is regards to shopping online for US goods.(just to let you know,I'm a UK resident) The product I want-and this has come up numerous times-is from America and the price for it is only in US Dollars and there is not a currency converter option on the page. So how do I make a payment?? I have on more than one occasion contacted the sellers and they haven't known either.What do I have to do?? An accurate answer only please. Thanks,Caroline

Answer
Are you paying by credit card?  Well, the credit card company will do the conversion themselves.  I bought something from Canada and my credit card company converted the Canadian dollar amount to a U.S. dollar amount.  

If you are curious on how much you are paying, there are websites that can calculate the currency conversion amount. However,in most cases,if you are using a credit card you do not need to know the exact amount in order to buy the product.

If you are paying by check or money order, then I am not sure what the procedure is.
