Guest Killian Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've had my hero for a few days and downloaded a few apps from the marketplace as they cost less than a dollar. Just checked my statement and everytime I've bought something Lloyds TSB have charged me £1 for an 'Oversea's Transaction Fee'. I'm just wondering if this is common or are Lloyds just being money grabbing tits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max. Ebay? I pay via PayPal and never have an issue with that as they handle the payment. The only time I've ever had to pay that fee is when I pay my Usenet bill every month. Think I may just open up an account elsewhere for now, knowing my luck though they'll probably charge even more! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame The Market Place, which can already detect via your mobile provider where you are, doesn't have all apps in the local currency, problem would be solved then, simples!!!!!! I bank with HBOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Vaudrey Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I am with Halifax and also get a charge of £1.50, Why can't google check out charge the card in local currency like PayPal does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I use a Tesco credit card and just pay whatever the exchange rate is on the day, no fees. I think the post office card will allow you to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
