Have you tried linking to bangbros from TBP because they offer a discount join price of $17.95. When i click the join button i get the price £12.12 from epoch which is about equal to $17.95 usd. I don't understand why you're seeing a higher price because i've never experienced regional pricing difference with epoch....I've only come across that particular scam with CCBill.

It's called regional pricing and if you look in our forum, you'll see it's been discussed (at length ... on many occassions). I think we've even had a few poll questions where it came up. The point being, it has nothing to do with an exchange rate. It is a practice of charging a different rate depending on where the user is located. As you can guess, it's pretty unpopular.
I do think you may be the first one to notice this practice from Epoch. Most notice it through CCBill.

Yes, as mentioned, following the link from here gave me a more accurate conversion, last time i checked (14.12 EUR, which is equal to the USD). Still, when going manually by www.bangbros.com, i get the "regional price" (27.47 EUR instead of an equal to 24.95 USD). I didn't join however.

Thanks, i didn't know about the "regional pricing" policy before.
Still, i consider it a type of trickery/scam, since Bangbros offered me a price which is changed by Epoch lateron. I could only accept this, if Bangbros gave me the "regional price" already in the first place, and i am not offered two different prices during the joining procedure.

For the record, we're certainly not advocates of regional pricing. I was just letting you know it was not a currency conversion issue ... which many people mistake it for when they first encounter it.
