For us international users who are earning in USD, seems that there is no way out of this. Unless people are willing to pay in Euro, I foreseen for the next two years to come, our earning could be slashed by another 10%. The only way I can think of is to stuff away the money in US bank and use it to purchase US products. Any better idea than this?
I feel your pain. In 2007 my country's currency has increased 20% against the USD, so you can only imagine the pain it's causing to dollar earners here
I also agree... I remember 6-7 years ago selling things on eBay and getting paid in USD, which was worth about 50% more than my dollar... now my dollar is worth more than the US, really bites.
WOW, at the time my currency is same value as U.S been like that for a while I wonder would it would be like. Im sorry for you and understand your trying to preserve your nations currency. Ppl should pay in EURO some times.
OH! it sucks to get more than 1000INR less in just a few days of time... Hopefully USD would gain aftr the elections.
I hope they will finally understand this at the government levels: - don't s Print money to buy oil, but not "make" the money. - do's Make money, and then buy oil from it.
There should be an Internet currency... how can we start one? PM me if your keen and we can discuss.. lol
PayPal is about as close to that as it can get I reckon! I wrote an article about this not long ago: What the Rusting Dollar Means for Web Junkies
Getting paid in Euro would be great. But not to many want to knowing that if they pay in usd its cheaper.
