Good point. I suppose if the thing was priced in Euros, then you either have to pay in Euros from a Euro-demoniated account or bear the costs of converting your chosen currency into Euros and back again. The difference seems a lot though, even taking account of PayPal's less than competitive exchange rates.
Brommers-
About 7% in the space of 72 hrs!
My frustration is the 'salt in the wounds' of them cancelling ("sorry, we priced it wrongly" - wasn't an obvious 42.50 rather than £425 just about 10-15% better than UK price) on me because of their error and then the disappointment of losing £25 on top.Get that I'll have to suck it up - no issue (honest)

Didn't the customer pay €500?
It's not down to the shops in other countries to cover fx fluctuations when they're advertising things in their local currency.
If they sold it for £450 then fine, refund £450 (and they take the hit or not).
If they sold it for €500 then refund €500.
