Default Question about buying crap overseas

Say if I want to buy something overseas using my debt card. Do the banks charge you an extra amount for that currency transfer?

probably not... it probably depends on your bank though cause some have more fees than others

I want to buy a bottle of absinthe
I finally got around to buying some last month, its been availible here for a while now, while I did not convulse, or have brain seizures, I certainly got wasted. But I'm a 3 pot screamer anyway.

Find the conversion rates and do the math...it pays off. It the cost is off, just make them aware and only pay the correct charge.

I'd do a bank transfer. You get the companies bank info and give it to yours. They will do everything for you. The money goes to them and there's no way they have access to your account to bend you over.

I was gonna buy a superchager from Austrialia and that was the only way they would do an international sale. So I called my bank and they said what I just said.

The US Absinthe does not contain the psycho-active ingrediants as overseas version. I.E Wormwood. Let me know how it goes, Ive thought about it. Cheapest I found was around $150us up to $200+ for higher strength.
