In your mind should be difficult to make calculations so you can see which is cheaper. That's why my mod will works with one only currency. This is the first step that I did. The second is to give again the seller the ability to post on his own currency, but should be a real time calculation to show the Ad to visitors in the default currency. Only when the user clicks on "Buy now" (when the online payments will be implement), only then he will see the sellers currency, but this is ok as it will be equaivalent to the price that he has in mind.

Thanks for the reply. The realtime conversion is of course the best way, perhaps an indicator that it is a conversion for those that are and/or you can display or click on something to see the sellers original price (not just when making a payment). Connecting in real time to a retail convertor is difficult. The online DB's of these are more bank rates and not what you or I would pay a bank for a conversion into our accounts. It would be useful if anyone has found an appropriate way to deal with this. I know I am being a little picky about it all).
Keep up the great work as this mod seems that it could be used by many people.
