Kinda a scam!

I'm pretty certain there is both a processing fee and an exchange rate fee, which is customary for international transactions.

Not an exchange rate. The page said $80.00usd. I have to assume usd means US dollars.
here's the page:

When listing price they should be more honest, If the price is $85 say the price is $85. Don't say the price is $80 then charge someone's card $85

If you're that upset over $4.95 spread over a year (i.e., $.013 per day), you probably shouldn't engage in international transactions to begin with. Papiao isn't making hidden profits off this, so it isn't a scam as you suggest. Everyone got charged this fee, and it is the cost associated with making an international transaction. The fee varies from country to country, card to card and bank to bank. You didn't even purchase directly from the services here, as recommended. You purchased from a reseller.

"Travelers returning from Europe often open their mail to discover they paid more for their trip than they thought they had. Over the last decade, banks have dramatically increased their fees for overseas transactions. Visa and MasterCard levy a 1 percent fee on international transactions, and some banks that issue those cards also tack on a currency conversion fee (additional 1–3 percent). These are similar to the fees associated with using your debit card for ATM withdrawals."

Ilan in a different thread, I asked you what were the best people to deal with on this matter and I got NO reply. I can provide a link if you like. The issue here is being told one thing and getting something else.

I'll let it rest from here, But I want it to be known that I think who ever should be more truthful about the cost someone will be charged for the service. Don't say one thing and deliver something else.

you used a third party source (a reseller)
Not much can be done about this, we can not say why he charged an extra 5 bux.
You will need to ask that seller from iks4less
 
The only way to ask "me" directly is through a PM. I honestly don't have the time to look through every post to see if there is one directed at me.

Yes, I see the link you are talking about. I helped you a couple of times in that thread, but didn't see that final question. But, again, I don't always read every post on the site.

Ilan, I guess this is what I really said, I was looking for information. I got no reply, but that's ok.

hey ilan. since your so good about getting back to me on here. I've got another question. What's the best way to discreetly pay for numbers? And what's the best price I can get? And how many do I have to buy before I get a price break? And once I buy the number, how long does it take before it's activated?
 
ilan is one of our greatest members here at iptvTalk
Hard to read every post oon the boards, but I do read most every post :)

Below is the CP I was referring to..

and so hence my response from above on this thread...
