Hi all Astro'liano's
As I am totally confused about my attempt to purchase a zwo asi camera this morning ,,, what a drama, & no one else's fault but mine
Story goes:
Made purchase through paypal from the zwo company in china = 1st mistake, as I did Not realise they are sold at BINTEL sydney ?
I had more than enough in paypal to cover the advertised price at ZWO, but after the transaction, my pp balance went to $00
- - thinking of exchange rate being the cause & not confident understanding currency change rates, I decided to tackle ceasing the transaction, 1st phoned directly through to ZWO in china, EDIT: Answered by chinese talk, then I said, Can you speak english, in which the phone changed hands to a person who spoke some english but not a lot of !! END EDIT ! finally made i believe understanding issue and cancelled the paypal ordered amount, Ill find a nice amount for that call on next bill :-) but believe we had success ?
Also rang PayPal to help confirm and have them halt the transaction if possible - that went much better and my balance is back normal with all funds available as were before this morning !
Only problem now is that the same camera at bintel is approx 1/3rd extra cost - obviously due to currency exchange, maybe also tax etc ? ?
The camera being the ASI 178MC color cooled - tiny 2.4um pixels
But both websites display prices are in with $ signs ?
How do I suppose to understand this, me thinks get from ZWO in china, includes shipping too !
Im a silly bugga when comes to this, just want to get it right !
Appreciate insight and the math currency conversions understanding if possible,
