Companies that don't pay in USD

11-07-2007, 10:47 AM

Are there any companies that don't pay in USD, or perhaps companies that are considering switching to something else?

It was all fine and good when I was getting "free money" on the exchange, but so far, I'm really not enjoying this whole losing money thing (and I expect it will just get worse)

So what's the deal? I will accept payment in CAD or Euros lol

I could put stuff here, but you don't care.

hopefully soon enough everybody will start to switch to Euro, however, I wouldn't wanna be the one to start that trend I'd let someone else take that initiative

This trend is not going to continue - why change your entire system because a few months (even a year) the dollar is unstable. Unless you can prove that the USD will remain down for longer than a year - then stay put and be thankful that you enjoyed the long run it had

You really think programs are going to bill in dollars and pay webmasters in Euros?

Because a bulk of porn buyers are from the US

Joe Bob surfer is not going to try and do the math on Euros when trying to sign up for a site. Especially when he couldn't pass math class.

You are really going to have your primary consumers billed in a foreign currency?

Forgetting the current problems Robert - what reason is there to bill an EU member in dollars? Same with any country - why bill a UK member in dollars?

No reason. Each country (within reason), should have signup pages in their own currency and language. There is also no reason for not using the Big Mac index to price paysite (or any site) costs to reflect the site or 'product worth' within each country.

This is in common use by all transnational corps, including those operating websites - the adult industry is just too backward in this area.

There is far better revenue potential when each currency is matched to the respective country at transaction time. There is no reason why any webmaster, wherever they actually operate, should tolerate currency fluctuation problems - especially to the level currently shown by the US dollar.

Definitely time for this biz to catch up man - we have been doing multi-currency for a few years now, but still the bulk of the industry is still playing with dollars

"even a year"?! the USD->EUR convertion has been going downhill since 2001.

It's indeed high time we leave the USD alone and start using the EUR for serious business (porn, oil, etc... ;-) )

Thanks to the non-ignorant people who gave serious replies and are aware that there does exist a world outside the US lol. I will have a look at the companies mentioned.

Grey Wolf said pretty much what I was thinking in a more well spoken way than I could. (I need to go back to english class lol)

I agree and am surprised more sites don't do it that way. The technology is out there and very easy to implement.
