    Is it just me, or are we not seeing the drop in the dollar and the rise in the euro reflected on any airsoft retailers prices?

    Its done automatically if its in paypal isnt it?

    Outside of paypal, they may need to update it themselves on the site.

    you want to be careful in rsov on that as they do everything in sterling...and yes it does make a difference. the euro prices on the site dont match what you pay...

    as for the dollar low...man it does make a difference even with the dodgy paypal rates...

    So a good time to buy from states, not so much from China/Hong Kong?
    So prices listed aren't always the given value by end (I've only ever bought in shops)?

    yup, paypal rates are nowhere near as good for sterling, always annoying when you check on xe.com (or set the site to euro) and then go to paypal and it costs more

    you said it dude. tbf to keith it isnt much but the price is the vast majority of the time more then the euro price on the website.

    its one of those other annoying features of paypal. i gave them the benefit of the doubt when paypal was smallish but they certainly arent smallish now and considering the volume of cross currency deals they do, i bet they are earning a small fortune there...

    still with the dollar low...even some of the US sites selling real BDU's become very attractive

    Been looking at some of the American site and see that most wont accept international orders,but found one called pointact.com that will.was wondering does anybody know what they are like to purchase from?


    P.S
    Just to inform anybody that was following my thread on the seized M14,i received a destruction order for it.:(
