    Get Some Fucking Money

    Actually, it's more like, get some fucking credit cards.

    I am not sure what's up with Germany, and their banking laws in regards to internet purchases?? I have had customers from there that pay just fine by some form of credit card.

    Lately however, I've been receiving cash. Now cash is nice, it spends well. But in the past it's always been them who've had to send cash from the Czech Republic, or Germany, where ever... to convert their Euros, Pounds, and Crowns to DOLLARS before mailing that shit.

    I'm guessing they are sending cash because of their banking laws, or they do not have credit cards or something. Although I can take EU Debit, among other things. But fucking A people....

    Stop sending me fucking EUROS.

    The Euros to dollar conversion ratio is like $1.54 US to 1 EURO I believe. But banks (local one's) do not convert that shit, and the only place I know of is travel agency downtown.

    They do it for a fee ofcourse. While better than worthless paper... it's still a major fucking hastle.

      Maybe you could get a foreign currency account and offset the small monthly charge against the cost savings of converting the currency, and going to the travel agent.

        I'll have to see if there is a place around here that has something like that if this stuff continues.

        In the past they have sent money orders, or done the currency conversions over there (whichever country), and send the payments in DOLLARS. Now for some reason, they want to start sending me EUROS.

          If you've got a HSBC near you, give their international currency accounts a try: http://www.offshore.hsbc.com/1/2/int...rrent-accounts

          Try putting a notice up asking for cash in USD, or offer a discount (smaller than the fee you'll incur to exchange Euros to USD) if they send cash in USD.

            I do not think we have an HSBC around here. Although I do have them for a few credit cards.

            Yeah, I will have to put up a clarification, or disclaimer for the Germans....

              Lol, you are complaining because people are sending you Euros instead of Dollars???

              You can't be serious.

                      LOL

                      No. The point's not dollars only. The point is, stop sending currency.

                        If I ever buy anything from you, I will make sure to send payment in very old used Volvo's. Broken ones.
