Beatport tax?

Recently beatport have been taxing me £0.19 extra per track for tax and £0.39 every wav. If you look at the top right hand corner, there is a * next to the price of your crate. Then when you go to buy it shows you the tax being added on. Is this just in the UK?

A new tax? or The Tax?

also for Denmark...
Apparently they have been forced to do this, still waiting for more information from them regarding why, what, whom, where and so on....

Americans get the same. I get charged a few cents every time I make a purchase. Something like "foreign exchange fee" which doesn't make sense to me unless they are dealing in euros now.

the most annoying thing with beatport (for me) is that when im browsing from my flat, all prices are in €. when i browse from my parents place (another isp), all prices are in $. maybe its time to just fill the crate and wait with buying until i visit my parents lol :p

Was just about to post a new topic on this. Just found out.
Not very nice but I suppose we cant do anything about it. I wonder why it took them so long to implement this...
