    Re: e-Commerce, Entertainer, Exchange rate —Nick Goetz
   To me it seems like a fair course of events (between the credit card and myself that is). One day they exchanged currency a for currency b. The next day they converted currency b back into currency a. It would have been better for me if the order (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

   (...) It seems to me they should eat it. In all probability, they paid nothing since they presumably don't exchange money on a daily basis.

     (...) I've heard from a couple of friends of mine who run online computer "stores" that their merchant agreements specifically forbid charging before shipment. Wouldn't know that to see what some companies do, though. (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

   (...) Well, ultimately, Nick should *not* eat the cost. I agree that the Entertainer should, if anyone does. This was all essentially their fault anyway - the mistake, the orders needing to be cancelled, yada, yada, yada... (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
