I stumbled upon this error in converting to EUR in other currencies:

- 7194 set
- 3 sellers in Norway
- selecting the first shop, NOK 2952 / EUR 284.35 (1st image)
- results in (see 2nd image) NOK 2361.60 / EUR 227.47

Where did 57 EURO go?

Please check:

Not sure what you mean by conversion error, it's a price difference of almost
600 kroner. Maybe the first price is with VAT and the other (when you click into
the store) is not?

Correct. Norwegian VAT is 25%, so if you subtrct that from 2952, you get 2361,6.
But only Norwegian buyers are supposed to see the VAT included prices.

So, still an error, right?
It should have shown me 2x the same price, not 2 different. That's the error.
