setting up postage fields. help needed

[advarntek]

And in english.php ... which of course is copied to your templates and overrides directory ... do you see USD or GBP?

so add the extension english.php to what

Look at the file:
/includes/languages/your_template_dir/english.php

Find the define for:

  define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD'); 

Also check the setting on Configuration ... My Store ...

Currency Conversion Ratio
When auto-updating currencies, what "uplift" ratio should be used to calculate the exchange rate used by your store?
ie: the bank rate is obtained from the currency-exchange servers; how much extra do you want to charge in order to make up the difference between the bank rate and the consumer rate?

Default: 1.05
This will cause the published bank rate to be multiplied by 1.05 to set the currency rates in your store.

And make sure that this is not affecting you ...

Also check the Localization ... Currencies ... and make sure all of the settings are correct for your currency ...

i look where you sayed and it says

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');
