absolutely reasonable

I totally understand *hugs*

*hugs back* thank you <3

Fair.

I hate that you had to do it. Sadly, I completely understand

Me too, and I've been at it for a longer while and I made up my mind yesterday :/

I feel like people are familiar with foreign currencies more today than what it was 10 years ago

Definitely yes, and much more aware of the world too

I understand hun.

Thank you <3 *hugs tight*

Makes sense to me.

Thank you, I appreciate it <3

If you click on the 5-year graphs the news ain't what it's made out to be. As much as I'd love to see a collapse of the fiat-USD, it's gonna take a whole lot more than a string of twelve shitty presidents and the government that grows around them.

Either way, currency conversion isn't a huge deal any more, all the payment sites do it but they all charge a percentage to do it which is money that ain't in your pocket.
Maybe worthwhile to give a heads up about that, and how you can oftentimes choose where the conversion takes place. Bank I use does it for 3%, while paypal was 10% for a while.

Fair, but I'm unable to imagine what will be next. I do prefer the stable EUR for now.
Unfortunately I'm stuck with PayPal for now, still haven't found a better option even though there were some popping up at times.

Well see how things go, get ready for the worse and hope for the best.

Yeah I was using paypal then too. There was just the option to convert from USD to GBP either on paypal, or with the visa card I was paying paypal with.
Back then it was by typing "850 gbp" into the 'payment' box rather than letting it default to a dollar sign.

The visa charge for the conversion was significantly less than paypal's. If you've got a bank account linked to your paypal account and you're getting your money out of paypal that way, there's likely an option to send "500 usd" to your bank from your paypal to have your bank do the currency exchange at a better rate than paypal's.

All in the past if you've standardized on one currency, making this advice better suited for your customers than you, heh.
Still something to keep in mind to keep a little more money in your pocket rather than the payment processor's if you do find yourself doing such foreign transaction things again.

Yeah, similar case here, but I cant send USD or any other currency to my bank unfortunately :/

Such is life xD

I came back to this journal to commend such a great call! With the data I am seeing now as of this time of writing, that was one heck of a well-timed move! It does seem like a lot of capital is seeking safety in Europe now lately.

I'm just curious, but at any point, did you consider just simply raising the price denominated in USD?

I am surprised myself to be honest.. But also glad, I'm not too good at that, so that's nice x3

I did recently raise my prices to when EUR-USD were pretty similar, now EUR is at the same level more or less and USD is falling, so I feel as I remain at the same price, unfortunately the prices will rise for the US :/ I don't feel good about it but being a micro business what I earn does affect me and my style takes longer than I'd sometimes like XP
