One price for all, having to pay more for online goods in your country from online stores.
I want to buy some stock images from a well know stock footage content provider, to buy them you need to buy credits, no problem you say, go purchase, well there in lies the problem, I looked at the prices, listed in dollars, right, I will go with those prices, we go to buy, oh, it knows what country I am from, so lets see, you are from the UK, lets put those prices in sterling, hold on, doesn't seem right, I do a currency check, and my oh my, its United Kingdom treasure island time, that's right people in the UK, your country is 'Treasure Island' for corporations, so its time to get those prices listed way more for United Kingdom's subjects. Wow, a significant difference in price, we are talking at least 17% more, this adds up when you are buying in bulk. Well I don't want to buy at that price, I want to buy from their online US store, in US money, that goes in their US bank account, in their country of origin in guess where.. That's right the USA.
Right then, options here, what can we do here, how can we get what we want without being directed to buy in your countries currency but in the regular US currency and prices? I'm sure some of you have had this problem and have achieved satisfaction on the dilemma.
