Premium in UK

[SmittMan]

I know that UK users have a premium account, i was thinking about going premium and when I got to the price it only came up in dollars. Have I missed some information to get around this or will I have to wait.

You can pay in dollars. The price will be converted to pounds by your credit/debit card or paypal.

And if you want to know how much 12 dollars is in pounds...

I emailed Jordan 30 minutes ago, I will post here later.

I don't think so. Those are the currencies that PayPal works with.

Thanks, TB, hopefully I stand corrected. Further research led me to this post by a PayPal employee on their support forums. Apparently you can, actually, send payments in currencies PayPal does not "support" - you just can't maintain a balance of an unsupported currency in your account.
