Dad3353 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1453481121' post='2959934'] I know if you use Paypal, you can put in how much the recipient needs to receive. [/quote] Similarly with a bank transfer, one may specify the final amount in the receiving account, in local currency. It simply needs thinking about, by both parties, beforehand.

leftybassman392 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 [quote name='Ruck' timestamp='1453479047' post='2959901'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]We've agreed to compromise and split the difference. Many thanks to everyone who commented here! Next time buying from overseas I will know better to confirm rates and the final sums of conversion. You guys have been great thanks![/font][/color] [/quote] Glad to hear you've agreed a compromise, and perhaps a lesson learned somewhere along the line. Not sure I would have felt the need, but that's just me. Having said that (and notwithstanding the point about implied terms), I still haven't heard anybody explain to me the logic of [b][i]not[/i][/b] specifying one's native currency when pricing one's items for sale. Anybody who trades regularly across currency boundaries would be expecting it. On second thought, maybe I just need to get out more! I've had a severe case of manflu this week and there's a non-zero probability that I'm a bit more tetchy than normal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If he wanted to receive a certain fgure he should have quoted the price in his currency... then you'd have to have paid enough £'s and charges to achieve that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
