In reality you can choose your currency on our site but paypal does not allow you to pay in this currency. So you always have to select the original currency on the shop. Now it makes sense what was happening. It went through as a credit card charge in USD, so all is well. Thanks and I look forward to the game.

carlsson Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hint for those doing international purchases in foreign currencies: If your card/bank supports purchases in other currencies than your own (usually main currencies like USD, EUR, GBP etc are accepted), always force PayPal to charge in the seller's currency. There is a setting for that which you can make permanent. Pretty much never let PayPal handle the currency exchange unless you have a really old-fashioned card issuer or bank, or are dealing in some really obscure currency. Their rates are much worse than what your bank will charge you, usually even including any fees involved. Over a period of 5-10 years with moderate spending you should easily be able to save hundreds of dollars (!) by not letting PayPal cut through with their exchange rates. Some people are already well aware of this, for others it is completely news even if they've been shopping internationally online for decades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned that when I bought my Channel F multicart and had the seller reject the payment and asked me to resend in dollars. Glad I could pay for this in dollars so no extra charges for anyone (and proper payment for the merchant).

Sinjinhawke Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’m not really great at these types of games. My wife smokes me every time. I just can’t seem to plan my moves ahead properly. Still I got a lot of enjoyment from Maria and want to support this developer. Fantasy Puzzle ordered. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like I can't set it to be the default, but I will try to change it with my next transaction payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yeah. I looked around on my PayPal account but can't find the setting. I believe it is there somewhere, but hidden very deep because that is extra profit for them to handle all currency conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanuki Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hello Joe, sorry for the late answer, we were very busy with the launch of 3 new books ^^. You can order Maria Small box from the webshop. It'll not affect shipping as you can choose "books and brochures" to pay around 10$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanuki Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hello everyone. I'm here to give some news about Fantasy Puzzle submissions. We had a small problem with the delivery, but it's solved and we should receive the missing element next week (if the post office is doing its job). So we'll ship your games right away. The packaging is done, all that's left to do is to put the awaited element in it so we can send you your games! We apologize for the delay. I will post again here to keep you informed as soon as we send the games of course. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
