aeilkema, how often do you think a company should change its prices to accomodate fluctuating currency differences? Remember the company prints documents, sales materials and catalogs, and their distributors do too. These have set prices in them and must be good for months, if not a year. They fill a pipleine of distibution at a certain profit point, based on their wholesale price.

How would you deal with that?

And also, should an American company in California do the VAT tax collecting, tracking, calculation and remitting for the governments of Europe for free? And why? Isn't that a service rendered?

And what is the actual facts about your contention that only a few don't charge exact exchange? Are you saying that most companies in the world accomodate exact, flucutating exchange, with these two software companies being the exception? Is that true with sales to India and Japan and Argentina and Kenya and Iceland? [I do not know the answer to this...I am asking a true question, and I respectfully SUGGEST no one answer unless they are experienced and have FACTS.]
