Strange. I think FastSpring controls all the currency logic with an iron fist, but I'll see whether I can force a "show everything in USD" option.

On the price point - there's still the market buy/sell spread on the currency market.

Western Union exhibits similar behaviour.

I wonder if the currency conversion logic is mixed up. Google returns: 1 US dollar = 0.9839 Canadian dollars. I wonder if it's dividing by .9839 instead of multiplying by it, which does get you close to 9.16.

At least the USD to EUR conversion is fine. Not a mixup in the algorithm, at least.
