Webstore currencies wrong

Hey, I already submitted a bug report but curious if anything else is having the same issue.

Starting yesterday, when I go on the webstore it's displaying prices in the wrong currency for my region. I should be in US dollars, but it's given my (so far) British pounds, and Euros, on two separate occasions.

Anyone else?

    Happens to me all the time, should be USD but shows up as SKR. Eventually goes back to USD, but I can’t figure out how to force it. Logged out and in a dozen times tonight, stuck on SKR. Probably better this way, shouldn’t be spending any more here anyway…

    It's almost doubtlessly based on (inherently flawed and sometimes easily inaccurate) geo-location of client IP addresses.  I have tested this theory by connecting to VPNs:

    1. Access webstore - see USD
    2. Connect VPN to (some other country)
    3. Refresh webstore - see other currency

    Once or twice, I've had it randomly show up in other currencies without a VPN, but that is usually while on LTE or other mobile/cellular network.  In one case, on mobile, I got SKR, and connected my device to my home router's VPN, and got USD on refresh.  Not everyone will have that as an option, of course, but there it is.
