She can bid through the .co.uk site bidding in £'s or the .com site bidding in $'s.
When bidding through the .co.uk site the Priceline system converts your bid from £'s to $'s and bids in $'s (they seem to use the mid point Interbank rate). [You get a confirmation email from Priceline saying check your bid for $x.xx even though you have bid in £'s]. The only advantage in using the .co.uk site (for me) is that I am billed in £'s to a UK credit/debit card.
If you daughter is using a $ denominated credit/debit card she should use the .com site (otherwise if she uses the .co.uk site she will get billed in £'s and may then get additional charges when converted to $'s on her credit/debit card).
Hope this helps.
