Yeah I don't get it. Is it
$261 setup, never refunded, PER item?
$67/month BFL single
$57/month 7970
Setup fees are PER item, never to be refunded. It's the upfront cost.
The rate per month stays same any billing cycle, so if you choose semi-annual payment cycle you pay monthly rate * 6 at that time, and again monthly rate * 6 after 6months.
Setup fee is *NON-RECURRING CHARGE*, and amount depends on payment cycle. If you choose monthly it is 175€, if you choose 6months or longer it is 75€
You also got your USD<>EUR exchange rate incorrect.
So, 6month payment is:
75€ setup fee: 100.50USD
6 months recurring charge: 49.95€*6=299.7€ or 401.60USD
Total: 502.10USD for first 6months
Then 401.60USD recurring charge.
*NOTE: It seems USD rate jumped today, just yesterday paypal quoted 1.26 when purchasing stuff from the US :/ That or Paypal has significantly increased their currency exchange profit margin. Latter is more likely.
