Something Slapass.... The sooner processors deal in at least most of the major currencies the better.
Example... a surfer from say the UK has an option to pay a site subscription in UK Pounds.
First, it is more "familiar" to him.
Second, the UK "expects" to pay something meaningful for site membership. To have a website charging $29.95 is pathetic in UK terms.. it is around 16 UK pounds (which would barely buy 3 packets of cigarettes). To charge 16 UK pounds for a website that claims the world is like saying "we are gonna give this all for nothing".
Third.. on the webmaster side, there are definate advantage to multi-currency sign up pages. Not least because the webmaster gets more bottom line return based on the "country values" list, but also because they are not dependent on the currency exchange of one country - ususally the US.
I'd rather be paid in UK Pounds, Euros and any other currency mix - it's more stable.
The only processor I know of offering this service is Verotel. Where are ya CCBill?? You have an EU presence - why are you not already trading in Euros? :-)
