    Different currency exchange rates??? Conversion from USD to CLP


    Hi,

    I'm looking the recent sales and I am from Chile, here we use CLP and 1 dollar today = CLP 553

    Can someone explain me how Xbox do the conversion from USD to CLP? I see diferents rate of conversion for different products.

    Example:

    Gow 3 in US: 4.99 USD

    GOW 3 in Chile: $3.247 (rate: $650/dollar)

    Gears of War 3

    http://marketplace.xbox.com/es-CL/P...acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5308ab?nosplash=1

    The Witcher 2 in US: 9.89 USD

    The Witcher 2 in Chile: $8.217 (rate: $830/dollar)

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

    http://marketplace.xbox.com/es-CL/P...of-Kings/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80257520824

    Skyrim: Heathfire in US: 1.64 USD

    Skyrim: Heathfire in Chile: $924 (rate: $563/dollar)

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Hearthfire

    http://marketplace.xbox.com/es-CL/P...93460e0-8f2d-4ca4-967d-2b4890c4e1d4?cid=SLink

    I can't understand this, they manipulate the prices in Chile?

    :)

    I am having the same problem but it cannot be a currency conversion issue. Everything is in USD located in the US.

    there is no Exchange rate used by Microsoft store, the game Prices are set independently and vary by region

    Prepaid codes

    Such a small amount it would seem that it's not tax but a currency conversion. The source transaction is likely billed in USD and then converted at the current rate to GBP.

    £0.20 is 0.57%. I cannot recall any sales tax rates below a single percentage point which leads me to believe it's currency conversion either by Microsoft or by your credit card processor. If Microsoft is quoting a rate in GBP then there shouldn't be any
    currency conversions but it would seem like there is something there.

    Does your credit card have any extra transaction fees that might account for the difference?

    Where did you actually see the incorrect amounts, was it on the Microsoft purchase history or on your bank statement?

    unfortunately it has nothing to do with currency exchange rates.
