I've just ordered and received the LightTune Module. It's absolutley cool, I'm very happy with it.

But after checkout I was schocked.... E-On is now charging VAT (about 19%) directly on their orders. When I did purchase Vue 4 that wasn't the case at all. I don't mind paying the VAT at all, I think it's very correctly for E-On to do so and leave it up to the customer.

So, I'm not schocked about the VAT at all, but I'm shocked about the fact that I'm paying a lot lot lot more then a person who pays in dollars, I'm paying in Euro's. I know E-On uses the 1=1 currency conversion rate and until now it was kind of defendable, by saying it's due to the vat (taxes) that need to be payed.

But that isn't the case anymore, on top of order I need to pay VAT now. So I've payes 39 euro + VAT now which is $51 and on top of that I need to pay VAT/TAXES. If I could have payed in dollars I would have only payed $39 + VAT/TAXES.

I know for sure now that I'm being ripped of now (I already had the feeling I was), but now I do know for sure. I already was saving up for Vue Infinite, but I'm not going to bey it until I'll be treated fairly. In other words, as much as I love E-On and their products, this has been my last order. It feels a little like thief has just stolen some money from me, money he wasn;t entiltled to..... I don't like that feeling at all.

I'm not angry, but shocked that companies get away with these kinds of business practises I really love to here what the reasoning behind all of this overcharging is? Please don't get mad at me for posting this message, but I really do find this whole matter very very strange. FYI, I've placed the same message on the E-On forums, not sure how long it will saty there, don't know how E-On reacts to something like this....
