You actually did make a point or two in this thread and it would have been better
received if you didn't rant and call people idiots.
The points I got from you after firguring out what you really wanted to say(
) :
- Low dollar now means cheap porn for Europeans but regional billing cancels that.
- Posting prices on you site in dollars will not be accurate when non-dollar customers click the sign up form. They can do a conversion and see it's more dollars than you posted.
So those are your points in "laymans" terms.
This was not a point :
- The Euro could go down.
If the surfer can always select their currency wether we have regional billing or not then
they can always pay and rebill in a currency that is going down.
And as far as having differrent prices being unfair, it is also unfair that foreign powers that are unhappy with America are fucking with our currency to punish us.
Example: Venezuela refusing to accept dollars for oil and encouraging the world to follow.
Charging more based on region might only amount to us getting the proper value for our
products. Since we need more dollars today than we needed yesterday. This may be
the way to get those dollars without punishing Americans more by making them pay more.
So like you say, if the dollar rebounds then the effective price paid in Euros will be less.
Which ultimately means that when people stop playing games with our currency then
those who sign up in Euros can get cheap prices again BECAUSE WE HAVE REGIONAL
BILLING TURNED ON. At least it seems that way.
29.99 Euro = $42 on the form now, if the dollar goes way, way up then 29.9 Euro could be equal to $25. But they won't get the $25 price if regional billing is turned off.
I think ccbill thought this out.
