FBI police check payment?

[ChellyCat]

Hi everyone, quick question about the payment. I'm about ready to mail off my prints, and in filling out the credit card payment form I see it asks for $18 USD. How do I do this with a Canadian credit card? I know the exchange rate changes often... Can I just put $18 and they will figure it out, or I have to get a money order?

Thanks for any help.

They don't care that your card is Canadian - they will charge $18.00 in US dollars and your credit card company will do the conversion based on the exchange rate on the day the card goes through - so it will be more than $18 in CDN on your statement. It's no problem to use your card, and it's actually helpful in that you can monitor your statements and see when the card is charged...will give you a better idea when you will receive the FBI report.

They will take your card, but that $18 USD will most likely convert to around $22-23 CDN plus the international transaction fee. Which is typically an additional 3% of what was charged.
