Is there ANY way I can pay $ instead of Euro on steam? - Games

See, I love steam and I wish I could purchase more games, however steams rediculous "1 $ equals 1 euro"-mindset is just straight-dumb stupidity and I refuse to pay in euro because, say, for instance, CoD 4. It's still 50$ - 50 euro (It's 2 years old, wtf?!), however 50$ is NOT 50 euro, it's 70$, so we have to pay friggin 20$ more. God damn I hate the EU. Anyway, I wanted to ask Facepunch if anyone knows a method to pay in $? I believe Steam bases your location of off your IP. So I was thinking, reinstall Steam, get a US proxy and then try again, however before I do anything I just wanted to ask Facepunch beforehand. Cheers

I'd want this too, would make buying stuff off steam a better option.

My friend in the UK sends me money via paypal and I gift him the games. So uhh.. find an American friend?

I don't know any American that I trust my money with..

Well there's your problem. If you trust me, I'd do it. 'course, you just met me on facepunch.

EDIT// Guess I'm screwed

[QUOTE=Wektron;16642614]I don't know any American that I trust my money with..[/QUOTE] Yeah as soon as he recieves them he'll run to the nearest McDonalds and spend it all on BigMacs... I'm just joking by the way (before someone gets butthurt). Anyways there is no way of paying in $ instead of € ([url=http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter?amt=1&from=eur&to=USD&submit=Convert#from=EUR;to=USD;amt=1]and the exchange rate is pretty damn high, so you pay quite a lot more[/url]), so as the others said you'll need someone you can trust in the US.

Now to find me self an American

I got a steamfriend I can trust enough to send money and have him gift me the game :3 <3

Paypal, mofo

I tried to use proxy. didn't work

[QUOTE=Flaming Neko;16645617]I tried to use proxy. didn't work[/QUOTE] You better not. If you use proxy, it is so easy to steal your details.

[QUOTE=edja007;16645634]You better not. If you use proxy, it is so easy to steal your details.[/QUOTE] trusted webs mkaaaaaaaaaay.

[QUOTE=Wektron;16642773]Now to find me self an American[/QUOTE] Good luck, I hear they're scarce in Autumn. Shy creatures.

[QUOTE=Wektron;16642773]Now to find me self an American[/QUOTE] *cough cough* You can trust me? :buddy:

Just send me your money. I'm from America.

I'd help you out too. If you paypal me the cost of the game, I'll gift it to you. If you want, you can PM me and I will give you my full name so you can harass me if I take your money.

[QUOTE=Wektron;16642614]I don't know any American that I trust my money with..[/QUOTE] i take that into offense

[QUOTE=shibbypwwalkk;16650174]i take that into offense[/QUOTE] Then you're dumb. If you take offense over the internet, learn to live

It's not the EU's fault, it's valve's fault.

Use a Canadian instead of a American (hint hint)

[QUOTE=MEOWTFLOL;16651158]Use a Canadian instead of a American (hint hint)[/QUOTE] Isn't it a bit more for Canadians too?

[QUOTE=OutOfExile;16651398]Isn't it a bit more for Canadians too?[/QUOTE] Immmmmmmmmmmmm pretty sure that Canadurrians pay using USD on Steam rather than CAD. And If I'm wrong, I will pay everyone 10 dorrar.

No one in this threads understands exchange rates or the economy. Wow.

Just let the other guy use your paypal. If he steals money, you file "Someone else used my paypal" And they look at the ip and its not yours. Btw try using proxy on your web browser steam uses too.

Maybe you could configure your router so it's set to America
