"How would you deal with that?" It's very easy to deal with, just choose a major currency to price you products in and let the credit cards or paypal or whatever deal with the rest. You be all bring up whatever reasons you like but just look at it this way: BEFORE the euro was in effect, all US companies would charge us Europeans in US dollars, never made a problem of it. WHEN the euro became in effect but wasn't worth much STILL we all had to pay in US dollars, there wasn't a problem at all. NOW that the euro is worth a lot, SUDDENLY a number of companies make us pay in euros but just forgetting that there is an exchange rate. NOW the think up all kinds of issues why they should do so, but THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN ISSUES BEFORE AT ALL. BESIDES that, the tax they charge us is a lot of times for more then the TAX rate is. E-On for example is charging fat over 20% of TAX, they've already taken provision for all of the costs. NOT to mention shipping and handling, that still comes on top of it and again, THOSE rates are very high too, much higher then they need to be. THESE companies get their comensation for all the taxes, rates and efforts, but STILL choose to overcharge us on top of all that. That's what's bothering me so much. That's why I've stopped purchasing at those companies. I've bought numerous items in China, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States and most of them charge me in their own currency. EXCEPT for some US companies who believe they have the right to ripp me off.....
