New Feature: Live currency conversion in sale listings

May 11, 2009   More articles: MMS News (46)

We are trying a preliminary version of a new feature for non-US buyers that visit the site. Visitors from certain countries will see the price of sale items converted into their home currency, and the original (in USD or whatever it was given in originally) listed in small text below so you can do your own calculations if necessary.

Note that these conversions are done by us as a helpful service to get a general idea of how much something will cost in another currency; the final conversion, if any, will be handled by the vendor (eBay, Amazon, etc). We update the exchange rates every 15 minutes during business hours whenever possible.

We'll test this version out for a little bit and then decide what to do about the currencies that are not represented yet. Included for now are countries that comprise most of our visitors, including Great Britain, Australia, Canada, and all countries that use the € euro.
