I can understand why Amazon has it set up that way, but it's still irritating.
Second, non-US customers end up having to pay their local VAT/sales taxes, which vary by country - here in Poland, it shows up as $5.16, not the $5.28 you quoted, for example.

Hi Pardoz, thanks for clarifying.
I can understand the principle behind the second reason, but the first reason seems a bit...well, as you say, irritating.
