I recently made my first IH purchase using a USA issued credit card and got hit with foreign transaction fees eventhough all the prices on www.ironheart.co.uk are in USD. I called up my credit card company and they told me that if IH is processing their transactions via a non-USA based bank, then I'll get hit with these fees all the time I make a purchase. That beats the whole purpose of buying from IH's website and paying in USD.
Has anyone else experienced the same while making purchases from USA?
Thanks for your help.

I use PayPal and have never had an issue ever

Thanks derivative666.
I used PayPal for this transaction too, but here's how it went: I partially paid via my PayPal balance (since it was not enough to fund the entire transaction), then the remaining amount was paid via my credit card stored in PayPal. When you use PayPal, do you just use your PayPal balance to make the payments? I think if you did that, then such issues would never arise.

You're not paying in USD. You're paying Giles the USD equivalent to the price in pounds. I always use PayPal too. If I don't have the balance in PayPal it draws from my bank account in cash, never on credit. If you want to avoid the foreign transaction fee either pay when you have the cash or buy from selfedge. Either way if you buy on credit aren't you going to get hit with fees? And can you really even complain about some minuscule fee when you're buying 300 dollar shirts and 300-500 dollar pants on credit??
