| Does anyone know why the 6 month price Qty averages are different in the USA
compared to the UK Qty average 6 month prices. And it's not a case of currency
conversion.
On Wednesday, the screenshot of a 30331 in the UK showed £2.75.
In the USA, the screenshot showed $4.48, allowing $1.37 for the £, this equals
£3.27, that's a £0.52 difference. I'm guessing this is the same all over.

Is it a VAT issue, where stores are outside UK? VAT on £2.75 is 55p.

I see the logic but the USA do not pay VAT as such. In reality BL should show
the average prices of items sold net price. Just not sure..

The logic is you pay VAT if you import from the US or anywhere else. So the US
prices to a UK based viewer have UK VAT. Or were you checking the prices using
a US IP address without logging in?

I was checking a range of prices. Some prices have a 10% diff compared to the
USA, some higher, some lower. There is no set pattern. I was not alone in believing
that the average prices showing on BL would be the same in the USA, Brazil, Switzerland
etc. We all know that you will be hit with customs duties when importing. Although
the Aussies seem to get a better deal customs wise.
