    Bits Charging £1 more than it says in game!

    DEVS, I'm personally not bothered about £1, ita a choccy bar.

    If you select to buy 600 bits in game, it says the price is 5 GBP (on the ingame bit purchase thingymebob). It charges your card 6 GBP (on the transaction history on the website). Thats naughty (obviously a mistake) and needs fixing immediately. Cheers!

    That's not adding a over sea charge is it ? sometimes I find that's why my cost is a bit higher then normal.

    I don't know, but it doesn't tell you unless you check the transaction history, so at the very least, its miss-labelled

    Probably the price quoted is excluding VAT (or sales tax as its known in the US). Not quoting a sales tax is common practice in the US (where each town can also add its own local sales tax), as its simply too complicated to cover everything. VAT is chargable on virtual purchases outside the EU (so £5 = £6 and £50 = £60).

    Buck up, your helping to support the banking sector. Britain is proud of your sacrifice

    I've no problem paying it, I bought the DDeluxe edition for PC and Ultimate for Xbox, I want to support the Defiance project, It just needs to show what you will actually be charged^^

    For clarity's sake, VAT or value added tax is not sales taxes. Its far far different. VAT is on everything and everyone. Here in the US sales taxs only applies to certain items and even those can purchased without it if you have a card that allows it.

    When the world goes to shtako, someone has to clean it up.

    Odd because I just bought some bits via paypal and it charged exactly what it stated on the page. I got the £20 package and paid exactly £20.
