Sorry guys had to step away for a few.

I really have quite a few reasons.

To me these are what I feel are the most important ones to consider:

#1:
Picture yourself with 100's or thousands of rebills going all sold with regional billing in Euros, they are fixed on the Euro price.

For example if your USD price is 29.95 USD CCBill recommends you bill the same numerical amount in Euros and because of the current exchange rate of 1.00 EUR = 1.59099 USD or 29.95 EUR = 47.6501 USD - You make an extra $15.36 USD in your pocket, the processor makes a little more too remember.

If the the Euro drops (and it could drop back to below a USD like it was)
then all those rebills you have going that are billed in EUROS also drop!

So if the Euro drops you get less money.

This is not rocket science people.

#2
I am selling more Euro memberships than ever right now. Yes you can still bill your customer in Euros but it''s the equivalent of what the exchange rate is from the USD price. This is how it works without regional billing.

Without using regional billing the European customer pays almost 19 Euros for a 29.95 USD membership. See what a great deal it is for Europeans to buy stuff from USA?
I am 99% sure that's why I am seeing more Euro sales now than I have ever before.
I am not going to fuck with it.

#3
Affiliates are involved and affected with whatever decision u make.

#4
Review Sites and other affiliates that pre sell and use price points in their sales pitch and in their rankings like review sites for example. If a European surfs a review site and sees that the price is 29.95 USD he knows what that means. How do you think he will feel when he hits your join page with "Regional Billing" activated?

(hint: he will feel pissed off)

if he sees it then.

What if he doesnt see it or notice it till 6 months down the road?

I smell CB's.

That is all for now.

Cheers,
BV
