I really hate it when you don't even know how much your paying. The only thing that bothers me more than that is when a price says "Add to Cart To See Price".

Both the US and Canada are very weak when it comes to protecting consumers. It shouldn't be legal to charge someone without an invoice for the amount being charged. But yes, there's also a fair amount of blame for the mac fanboys who put up with that crap. I’d have to believe that Donncha’s correct.

There was talk about charging VAT at the rate of the buyer but I think that's died. Hopefully!

I have a feeling they'd be breaking some European laws if they didn't display the full total. The Irish Apple store lists the VAT correctly.
