Background:
LONDON (Reuters) - One of Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitars, set alight on a London stage more than 40 years ago and thought to have been lost forever, is to be auctioned later this year.
The guitar, a 1965 Fender Stratocaster, was famously doused with lighter fuel and set alight by the rock legend during a one-off performance at London's Finsbury Astoria in March 1967.
The guitar is among a range of rock memorabilia to be auctioned by the Fame Bureau in London on September 4th. It has an estimate of 500,000 pounds ($999,000).

Due to the auction being pounds at time of sale on ebay the admin will convert via the conversion rate lifted from Google which get's their conversion rate from CitiBank

I have no idea if this includes the extra service fee, discussed in the settlement details. I don't think it does.
And I am not sure that I used right conversion of currency, so I am counting on admins to clarify the settlement.
