Hiya,
I was just wondering - why do non-US residents still need to pay tax on your merchandise?
Many thanks.

    Taxes are calculated by Digital River based on the laws in the country you're buying from. Some US states have sales tax depending on the rules of your state, and a lot European countries require VAT, even on downloadable goods.

    Ok thanks - its just Ive never been charged on US products at time of purchase. I guess my next question is - what happens in the case that I am charged import tax as well on the CD version of the game when its shipped to me? Or will that be marked at zero value?

    I don't know exactly how it'll work yet, but rest assured we're going to try to set it up in a way that doesn't screw anyone over. ;)
