And Amazon does not accept Paypal.

Poopie.

Anyone have any idea how much conversion fees will be if I pay with my Mastercard (Amazon being in the U.S. and me being in Australia).

if the book is available on amazon.ca (canada) order it from there, as their dollar is closer to ours than the US$

no idea about the conversion fees though, it's usually a percentage of the amount you are convertine. I think it's somewhere between 3 and 5%, but this is just guessing from the charges my Dad got while we were in Hong Kong.

Bankwest charged me about 2.5% when I ordered some 'toys' from the US. So depends on your bank.

I don't think it's much--I've ordered overseas before and not found it being much more than expected. I use this for a rough estimate of the conversion before I buy. It's not gonna be exact, of course, but it gives you a better idea.

Also, I take it you've checked you can't get it at Dymocks or Angus and Robertson online? Otherwise, use the ISBN to do a search there and if they have it you'll get it quicker and without conversion worries.

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious here. ;)

Been using xe.com for many years now. :)

The Aussie chain bookstores were hopeless. Some more specialist Aussie outlets had one of the books, but not the other.

I ended up getting a pair off Amazon, they're a deal if you get both and they seem the best for my purposes.

re fleas - ring termico, ask for liz, tell her how you know me, that you want an indoor outdoor treatment, and Richard told me to tell you to tell liz it was priced TBA

Check the fees and charges on your card's website.

Yes but stuff here in Canada usually costs more than in the states, accounting for the currency difference... and we're getting screwed right now becuase the up in prices still stand even though the Canadian dollar is getting really close to the US dollar right now (it's at like 91% I think).

Amazo.ca usually has higher prices than Amazon.com
