Been using the Aussie giftcard then buy in India method - and there is still a bit weird.

I realize that Kobo charges a transaction fee each time when I purchase a book. Not sure how it is calculated but it looks to be proportionate. I paid for a transaction which should have costed 374 RS but turned out that 470 RS was deducted from the giftcard. Then I bought another book again and this time the book is supposed to costs 431 RS but after the transaction the balance of my giftcard actually increased!! I am losing the plot!!!

Don't get me wrong though - I love this giftcard idea as it helps me to limit my spending!
