the main problem is when a surfer goes to a site that has it's own pre-join form (like many) the pre-join form will say dollars. But the CC-Bill form will say Euros. Another thing is that Review sites and such display the sites pricing in US dollars but once the surfer goes to the site he will see Euros or British pounds (depending on the surfers location of course).
We have implemented a script on our pre-join pages that will display the price in the exact amount and currency the CC Bill form does, so there are no differences in prices and currencies displayed.
I have to agree with Robbie, that affiliates are getting a nice chunk of cash of sign ups as is, but it is a business deal after all. we have the content the affiliate has the traffic so let's make money together, right? Over the years the "partnership" has changed for the better of the affiliate, higher payouts and almost everything already done for them. Personally i don't have a problem with it as long as I make my money too.
As far as the regional billing goes, we haven't had any issues yet (knock on wood) and for Euro traffic nothing really changed, when the Euro and the Dollar were almost 1 : 1 no one complained, but now that the dollar went down I think it is only fair to adjust your pricing.
