Bittylicious pricing

Just having a look, and have set up a digital "wallet" and registered with a cryptocurrency tradder (Bittylicious). But the prices seem a bit weird.
The cost of 1 Ether (Ethereum) for example seems to be about $460 looking at various market info. sites. If I want to buy 1 ether through Bittylicious the price indicated is approx £720 !!
Have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere ?

    He is not, he is trying to by Ethereum. Just looked on the Bittylicious website and seems to be the right sort of price when I put in 1.

    Ethereum is not bitcoin, there are 100's or such digital coinage.

    It is the second most expensive one though.

    Doh, having a senior moment !
    I typed in a quantity of 0.5 Ether and read the display at £361.
    If I had scrolled down I would have seen the buy price at half of this 😗
