USD to MYR = USD1 : MYR3.29 (Newegg Malaysia sets it to MYR3.5)
Basically already includes their 10% service charge + bank charges. 3.5 - 3.29 = 0.21%
It would be better for them to set it to MYR3.3 to gain more buyers.

3) The currency would be peg at RM 3.5 to a dollar at present.
4) A fix shipping fee would be standardized for all items listed in the shipping and handling tab.
5) Be advised, there is a new tab for items taxable by the Malaysian Custom for your references. So, we encourage you to check them out frequently. Taxable items ie. PSU or coolers.
6) At present, we have two payment method which is PayPal and bank transfer. Customers who wish to pay through PayPal would be charged 5% extra for PayPal services. As such, we encourage our customers to pay through bank transfer to avoid the extra charges.
