    I'm not talking about Ebay or other auction sites but via a website.

    Thing is, I sell flags (for use in church) from my website and I seem to be getting problems with people from the US thinking that the �£15 price (for instance) means $15 when the conversion is actually $26. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this much naivity in our US cousins!!

    Well not so much with money.. but a couple from the states stayed with us here and after breakfast one day announced they were going for a walk.As they were leaving I asked where they were heading for..."Just over the hill to Bath".
    Good job I did ask,Bath is about ninety miles away over the hill!! :D
