I find it very frustrating when I go to buy BC and ROBUX, everything shows in US DOLLAR can we have an option to bring a UK site? Or UK buying area

- It costs $400,000 dollars to see me...for 12 seconds

I live in the UK too.

All you have to do is go to google and type in "[number] dollars into [number] pounds".

Edit: And the UK version currency would either be EUR (Euros) or GBP (Great British Pound)

I know you can do that, but PayPal charge a currency change fee ROBLOX should make a UK site (maybe only the builders club page and show UK prices)

Support, but you could go on the iPhone and buy ROBUX with iTunes.

Well, I bought my BC with PayPal. My mum's PayPal card uses the currency GBP. So it automatically changes the $30 I would've spent if I was American to £20 I'd have to pay in England.

Very simple :).

I don't live in Europe, but this could make a great addition.

It'd be nice to see ROBLOX spreading out to other countries.

+1 Support.

So no support.

You're missing the point, why change all the prices because people want their country prices? I know euro prices, my cousins are italian.

So, ROBLOX should use a trade currency (e.g. Google) and display them prices

Maybe in your account there could be an option to change country?
It would be much better when buying BC

So ROBLOX could display prices in other currencies. However, the purchase would still be in USD therefore you would still be charged a currency conversion charge. Also, if ROBLOX display prices it'd be an approximate price so you will almost always be paying a different amount.

The conversion charge is normally only one pound, so yeah that would work

Only one pound?

When I bought BC 1.5 years ago, 5 dollars = 3 pounds.

Wai they lose that conversion? :(

Either way, we'll lose the magical cheapness we get if we do this.

It depends on what type of BC you purchase and your bank. With Nationwide the GBP to USD conversion charge for BC is £0.07 when I bought it last month.

Well, true.

Either way, I still think it's cheaper if you use pounds.
Definitely was when I bought BC monthly that time ago.

Gaia, That's not the cost, that's the fee we incur when the bank changes the currency of our money from GBP to USD it's added to what we pay for BC.
