Hey... You might think this is a dumb question but.. never hurts to ask,
Thing is that I live in Mexico, (used to live in US) and there are no Guild Wars games here.. and i'm going to buy Factions but here we manage what is called "pesos" 10 pesos = 1 dolar..
So is there any problem if i pay with pesos? or what?

Thanks

They only give three options in the Online Store. US Dollars, Euros and British Pounds.

If you're in Mexico, probably US Dollars. Your credit card company will do the exchange automatically but they usually charge a small fee.

True, your credit card compagny will do the exchange for you. I'm in Canada and the online store is in US for me too. Bought a few things from the store and Visa converted the US$ for CAN$ on my card for me.

Chronos: when you get your visa, mastercard, etc bill. The bill will be in your currency, US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, etc. If the site you purchased from is not in the currency that your card is issued in then Visa, etc will convert the price at a predefined exchange rate. Currently that rate is 0.94% (assuming the bank that issued your Visa doesn't charge you a fee for the service), which means, every $0.94 US that you spend is equal to 1 dollar Canadian, or, $1.00 US = $1.07 CDN. Given that, the $39.99 US that the online will be charging for EotN, will work out to $42.79 CDN if you pay for it with a Canadian credit card, at todays exchange rates (which may change).
