which indeed would not be allowed, since it would be misleading and leave the customer in the dark.

and according to your clients nationallity to say "You're American, it costs $100", "You're European it costs 100 Euros", "You're English it costs GBP100".

As long as the price is clearly stated, I see no (legal) problem with this. Just show me the law that prohibits me from charging different prices based on nationality, or currency. Mind you, I think it's bad practice and all, and saying it's due to currency exchange would be a blatant lie - I just disagree it would be illegal as long as the client clearly sees the price he has to pay before finalizing the order, and he can make an informed decision. If you disagree with such bad business practice, you need to use the consumer's power and take your money elsewhere. You see, car manufacturers for example do it all the time - the exact same car will be on sale for vastly different prices in every country, even inside the EU, even in countries that have the common currency. That's why there's German car dealers that offer reimported cars - it can be cheaper to buy certain cars for example in Italy and have them reimported, German tax and all added, than buying them here. Same for computers or mobile phones - often vastly cheaper in the US than here in Germany.
