Do yourself a big favour, and make your credit numbers locale-aware. Many (most? not sure) people are going to assume (like I did) that $9.99 would get me 10 credits, because "." is a decimal point in my locale.

I almost closed the page at that stage because $1 per page scraped seemed very greedy, and it wasn't until I saw the Expert plan with it's "1 million" that I realised that 10.000 = ten thousand.

Maybe use the SI convention of spaces: 10 000.

Thanks a lot for the tip. Will change that immediately.
