Why are you trying to rip Aussie’s off?

by briddett . Updated 13 years, 8 months ago

Just noticed that the price for products in AUD is more expensive than in USD. This is despite the Australian dollar being worth more?

Currently 1 AUD = 1.03 USD
So the rate on todays calculations should be:
100.00 USD = 96.6088 AUD

So I would have expected the rates to be adjusted accordingly. Instead I find the price has gone up?

I was going to purchase a product quoted at $99 USD – the converted price you have is 105.22 AUD

If I work this backwards then you are charging me $101.63 AUD
105.22 USD = 101.630 AUD

For a downloadable book? Which means in real terms I am paying:
101.63 – 96.60 = $5.03 in real terms

Greed?

As an IT trainer I have been recommending this site and it’s products for years…but…. guess what…not any longer. There is no justification that I know of for charging me more for a downloadable product especially when the dollar is in my favour.
