Currency to Plat exchange rate confusion ?!?

[Xorrior]

Dear STS,

Firstly, I would like to apologise if I just got my knickers in a twist over nothing, so without further ado....

I see currency signs are blanked out with squares when buying plat. So this leaves me with a question, do you charge people who live in countries with stronger currencies more!

E.g,

For currency let's say £1=$1.50

I live in the UK, the pound is stronger than the dollar. Therefore if my fellow US friend spends 400 USD buying plat, for me that same amount of plat would cost me approx 450 USD, therefore am I paying approximately $50 dollars more than my fellow American friend? Why can't I buy that same amount of plat for $400 USD instead of $450 USD? You are charging me £400 ($450) and yet you're charging my lovely friend across the pond $400 USD!

Another example is Courage the Lion and the adventure kit, I can't remember real price because I'm too old but anyway.....say it was 1.99, people in USA buy it for $1.99, so why we gotta buy it for $2.49 ??? Coz u charging me £1.99 !!!!!!

STS, Y U NO LIKE UK?

If I got it all wrong please ignore all of the above, thank you.
