Since it's... y'know. NOT 2 dollars.
It's the same everywhere in online purchase.
Bonus points for gas stations that add 9/10ths of a cent.

then just buy things so you get to a total of 30 , i do it all the time with leftover paysafecard funds , look for a game where i have both steam and paysafe at exactly 0 , or maybe get 35 -40 $ instead
Well since Steam is not an Australian company operating out of Australia, this has zero bearing on it.
1.99 does not in any way equal 2.00, in the USA, or basically anywhere else that has denominations less than 1 whole dollar. Pennies have been *tried* to be gotten rid of here in the States, but... nope. There are just too many of them, and with our extremely flexible localized taxation, everyone would just get angry that they'd all round UP. Never down, god forbid.
That TV is less than £500 at only £499
That Freezer is less than £300 at only £299
That washing machine is less than £400 at only £399
That car is less than £10,000 and only £9,999
It's a marketing strategy and always will be. Look on Amazon or other retailers that do free delivery if you spend £x or more. Offers often lower prices just below that bracket so people either pay for delivery or more buy something else to get the free delivery.
