Currently on amazon from CCP...

US customers only - 6 x PLEX - $104 = £62

UK customers - 6 x PLEX = £90

For those bad at math that's a difference of £28

This needs reviewing.

Crap. Stumbled onto the Amazon.com forums again.



I really need to watch where I click.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Valid issue which if has been posted before, obviously has not been addressed.

In EU they need to add VAT so that's why.

…also, Amazon is not CCP, and whatever they choose to sell stuff for in the US ≠ whatever they choose to sell stuff for in the UK.

Absolutely, just had more in mind that usually, regardless of item buying it from Amazon UK will be higher price than Amazon US due to the VAT they add on almost all items.

I agree wholeheartedly. My misclicking issue has been posted about before and I have failed to address it. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I understand that my stumbling into random sites has become a burden for some people, and rest assured that we have top men looking into it.

Should have tried harder during the revolutionary war.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

Amazon set their own PLEX prices, not us. We have no control over them.

With regards to the difference in price, Chribba is correct.

In the EU, both Amazon and CCP have to display prices inclusive of VAT, however when we sell in the US, we do not have to display sales taxes that may apply on a State or Federal level., and taxes vary drastically from State to State.

Pretty sure prices on amazon UK include a VAT markup. So if you order from there you are paying VAT. At least that's how things worked when I lived over there.

The OP now knows what he must do, he must rise to power, become a member of parliament and fight for changes to our tax system so that we can pay less for video games.

Godspeed, brother.

Just evade taxes by buying them using an American address, nobody has ever gone to jail for tax evasion.

It's because the US dollar is worth three small rocks or a pair of smelly socks lately.
