  1. Exchange rates on BrickLink are downloaded from Bloomberg Currency Data every 24 hours. Exchange rates provided by Bloomberg Currency Data contain the rates and inverted rates for the US Dollar as the base currency (ex. 1 USD = ? EUR and 1 EUR = ? USD). Rates which do not include the US Dollar (ex. 1 EUR = ? GBP) are calculated using a cross rate (ex. USD to GBP rate divided by USD to EUR rate). Rates contain up to 10 decimals.
  2. The exchange rates on the Bloomberg Currency Data website are updated more frequently and thus the exchange rate on the Bloomberg Currency Data website may not match the exchange rate currently in the BrickLink system exactly. If the system fails to download the most recent exchange rate, the most recent exchange rate in the system is used.
  3. Per the Bloomberg Currency Data Terms of Service, the actual exchange rate that is used to convert prices cannot be displayed anywhere on this site. For current rates, please visit Bloomberg Currency Data.
  4. Prices and order grand totals are converted in all stores the same way using the same exchange rates. For more information on how currency conversion applies to the different site features, please see the Store Currency help topic.
  5. If more currencies are added to the system, you automatically accept for prices in those currencies to be converted using these exchange rates. If BrickLink abandons the multi-currency system and moves back to all prices in US Dollars, prices in currencies other than the US Dollar will be converted to the US Dollar using the most recent exchange rate in the system.
  6. There is no need to mention currency conversion in your store terms. If you do choose to mention this topic, however, then your description must accurately represent how currency conversion is accomplished on BrickLink. Specifically: our system automatically converts prices using exchange rates from Bloomberg Currency Data updated once every 24 hours and order totals are converted using the latest exchange rate in the system as of the time the order is submitted.
  7. Using other exchange rates on BrickLink is prohibited.
  8. Hard-coding an exchange rate in your store terms, splash page, store banner or anywhere else in your store is prohibited. Since exchange rates are updated daily, the hard-coded exchange rate would not correspond to the actual rate that is being used at any given moment. Instead, suggest that your buyers check the Bloomberg Currency Data website to view current rates.
