Hey.

Im planning on paying for GM8 from the Yoyogames website. However, because im English and my currency is GBP i do not know if i can put my debit card in, or how much the product is?

Any help?

Purchases in foreign currency is common place with electronics transactions. Determining (approximately) how much you will be paying is also trivial.

Google currency exchange rate or convert US to GBP to get the current exchange rate. Many sites allow you to enter in specific amounts to see what the actual conversion total is.

For example xe.com allows you to enter 39.99 (US) and will convert it to 25.82 (GPB). It's also not unusual for card issues to add a small percentage fee for currency exchange. Your bank should publish what the conversion charge is.

So assuming a 2% currency exchange fee GM Standard would cost you about (25.82 + 0.56) = 26.38 (GPB).

The checkout process typically will display the total amount including any taxes such as VAT before you have to commit to the purchase.

No you won't. YYGs doesn't use PayPal.

So, all i do is put my debit card in and it will charge me that amount (approximately)?

YoYo Games uses a new payment system now.

PayPal was only offered during the initial launch of GM:HTML5..
