I am writing to report an unauthorized charge that was made to my bank card by OpenAI.
It seems like openai is forcing me to use local currency which the conversion rates are absurd
I don’t want to be forced to pay such massive conversion rates.
I don’t see why I have to pay 50$ for currency conversion fees when the direct competitor simply won’t have me go through this.
