International pricing

I just ordered/paid/downloaded Contrast Master. A long-time user of B&W Styler, I'm looking forward to it!
Thought I'd mention something which potentially could put some folks off the ordering process (it nearly did me) When it came time to pay my $69.95, Element5 option uses an exchange rate (to Euros - not sure what it would do with other currencies) that is HUGELY wrong and in their favour. I know they have to make a cut, but this was riduculous!
I nearly bailed out at that point, thinking "I'm no sucker" but looked at the PayPal option first: they use a normal exchange rate. So I went ahead and bought.
The difference between the PayPal price and Elements5 was just over 6 Euros. That's a big difference.
Since I assume that they both pay the developer the same $69.95, I have no worry that I'm depriving Harald of extra income! I'm depriving Element5 of extra income! So do check those options carefully. We want Harald to get our hard-earned money for his work, not some intermediary.
Hope you don't mind me posting this information - as I say, it nearly put me off buying, so you don't want to accidentally lose potential customers!
