Based on this, I'm assuming that if any fees are charged, it would be the bank charging them, not Kobo.


Something curious I've noticed - sometimes when I order books with my US card I'm charged the list price; when I order with my local card, I'm charged Kobo's price (the 'Our price'). Because I have 2 Kobo accounts (one for each card), when I notice this, I just log out of one account and log into the other so I can get the cheaper price. I've always wondered what's this about ...
