Really? Cause they never charged me taxes before since the prices they have are the same as with retail games before taxes.

Anyway, psn didn't charge me afterall, it was paypal

Now I am confused... Paypal charges you something? I've not noticed and I have been buying with them for a while (either it's a tiny cost, or it's for another reason)... 

And Steam taxes are the final prize. When you see the price of a game, it includes taxes. XBL has the same policy where they will tell you it's game cost + taxes but the prize is the one you see in the game's hub. In other words, the taxes are added into the prize displayed under the game. 

Edit: After checking, turns out I was wrong with XBL... The message will always display the taxes as being part of the purchase even if you aren't taxed (explains a lot). 

In PSN I haven't been able to find much. Was the surcharge on your billing history or the store itself? 

Yea they charge for currency conversion which I didn't realize. Its not a psn thing, its a paypal thing. If I used my normal credit card, it wouldn't have gotten charged.

I am confused about this statement though. Like so am I getting charged taxes then? Cause if I am, why is steam's final price the same as the retail price of stores pre-tax?

So for example

That is pre-tax

http://store.steampowered.com/app/292730/

That is final
