In-game store - paying with a different currency - Guild Wars Forums

Premium Unleaded · Jun 10, 2010, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Is it possible to buy an item from the store using another currency? A friend of mine bought the game whilst she was still living in Finland so all the things are listed under euro prices, but she said that at the moment it's ironically cheaper paying in sterling.

Due to inflation, I'm sure the prices fluctuate slightly!

I've actually said that to her, but she said it was more due to having to pay the commission fee for ?? > ???, since she gets paid in pounds atm.

you will be charged in euros from NCsoft,
but your bank will charge you the conversion fees if applicable.

I think it is reasonable to buy an item from the store using another currency. You can buy and pay for another currency as long as you know the changes of that currency. You just have to be mindful with every transaction you have.

In England, you can use a debit card or PayPal which would take the money direct from a bank account without (I believe) any conversion fees. I know that I use my American debit card to purchase items on European sites without my bank hitting me with extra charges.

Yeah , I'm from Romania, and my parents doesn't have a PayPal/Visa/American Express , here in Romania we have different cards. Is there anyway to buy those new costumes like Grenth/Dwayna etc?

In Romania you can use the Paysafecard system which is accepted by NCSoft.
