Re: currency
That feature isn't included in any of our releases, though the idea was tossed around a bit. It's going to take a bit of custom PHP for you to do it, but if you've got the skills you can at least do it on product pages by theming product nodes and doing the currency conversion/display yourself.
Re: Re: currency
Couldn't http://www.ubercart.org/docs/api/uc_currency_format be used to do this?
If there is, eg, a block that provides a drop-down to select currency, it could post back and set a session variable, and then uc_currency_format can display the amount in the currency set in the session.
It could possibly even use http://drupal.org/project/currency (or at least borrow some code from it).
Is there a reason this would not be feasible? I was planning on writing a module to do this, and this is the method I had in mind.

A standard integration would involve the following steps:
Once the customer has decided to buy, your website/shopping cart will redirect them to your final 'Checkout' page.
Using a server side script, you will send the transaction details ( transaction amount, order ID etc. ) to an application on the ePDQ server which will encrypt these details and generate an HTML form value. We provide example scripts for this process in ASP, PHP and Perl.
The customer completes their details ( name and address ) on your Checkout page which you will typically store in the order database.
The customer is redirected away from your website over to the secure CPI payment page. This is done using HTML forms.
The transaction is processed on the ePDQ server. The transaction status results ( Success, Declined, etc. ) and the customer are redirected to pre defined addresses on your server allowing you to update your Order Database and fulfil the transaction accordingly.
