Are Amazon Prices Always in USD?

I wasn't sure if this was off topic or not so I put it in general discussion, mods, move it if you like.

 

I decided I might look at amazon prices for my PC components as I haven't really looked at it since I started off with my stupid build.

But, I'm not sure if the prices on there are in USD or AUD. Amazon is a American store, but I'm viewing in AUS.

 

So, is Amazon always in USD? I wouldn't mind getting my 4690K for $250 instead of $320...

Depends on what store you go to. Amazon.co.uk displays their prices in pounds.

I think Amazon.com is USD, yes.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

There is no amazon in australia.  You will have to pay taxes and 4690k will cost you 320 anyway. I can't make a screenshot explaining how prices work every single time, but australian or european or uk prices ARE NOT higher than US prices.

Amazon ships to countries ... Those countries have their own website and currency ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

Both parts are true. But not in same sentense. Amazon ships to wide variety of countries but there are some restrictions. Not all countries that Amazon ships have their own localized Amazon. But if you use localized Amazon, the default currency is what that site/country uses. You can change it from user preferences.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

I'm still considering whether or not Amazon should come my country ... We have too many foreign brand and don't want them to colonise our market ...
