JetBrains Doomsday Sale - 75% off for 24 hours only

I'm in Bolivia but I get prices in British Pounds including VAT costs. What gives?

If I use a service like HideMyAss.com to get the US page, I can see the goods in dollars and that price I should be charged.

Any suggestions? I shouldn't have to pay VAT as I'm not located in the EU.

Thanks!

@sergiotapia, you can switch your country... on the purchase page you should find text below the table to do this...

Purchases from 123 are charged in XYZ. If you are not from 123, please select your country

Thanks! That dropdown was really hard to find, and the text for that option has bad contrast with the background.

Works!

Conversion rates are also pretty bad as 50 USD transforms into 47€ + VAT. I'm not really complaining since this is still a good deal.

I think their location detection code is lagging out a bit, but on every pricing page I've seen there's a bit to change your country to anything you like.
