    Hi I'm planning on buying a part for my pc off amazon and it's 125 sterling . When I go to check out its a 188.12 euro according to their converter. So I'm wondering would I pay In euro or sterling.

    Pay in sterling, the currency converter is a rip off

    Amazon have been giving much better exchange rates in recent months. I have still found it cheaper to pay in £, but its not nearly as much saving as it used to be.

    You can check visa and mastercards current rates online, you also need to know your bank charges.

    If it is only one or two items then pay in sterling but with several items on an order it will be cheaper to pay in euro because Amazon have a nasty habit of sending items in dribs abd drabs and each delivery will cost a minimum of 30cent along with the exchange rate.
